Detection of Fractal Behavior in Temporal Series of Synaptic Quantal Release Events: A Feasibility Study

Since the pioneering work of Fatt and Katz at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), spontaneous synaptic release (minis), that is, the quantal discharge of neurotransmitter molecules which occurs in the absence of action potentials, has been unanimously considered a memoryless random Poisson process whe...
