Acetylcholine-induced inhibition of presynaptic calcium signals and transmitter release in the frog neuromuscular junction

Acetylcholine (ACh), released from axonal terminals of motor neurones in neuromuscular junctions regulates the efficacy of neurotransmission through activation of presynaptic nicotinic and muscarinic autoreceptors. Receptor-mediated presynaptic regulation could reflect either direct action on exocyt...
