Crustacean muscles are innervated by phasic and tonic motor neurons that display differential physiology and have morphologically distinct synaptic terminals. Phasic motor neurons release much more transmitter per impulse and have filiform terminals, whereas tonic motor neurons release less transmit

A variety of approaches have been developed to localize neurons and neural elements in nervous system tissues that make and use acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is the enzyme catalyzing the biosynthesis of ACh and is considered to be an excellent phenotypic
Acetylcholine has important epigenetic roles in the developing retina. In this study, cells that expressed choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme that synthesizes acetylcholine, were investigated in embryonic, postnatal, and adult turtle retinas by using immunofluorescence histochemistry. ChAT
Voltage-gated sodium channels (NaChs) are highly concentrated in the postsynaptic region of the neuromuscular junction, especially in the depths of postsynaptic folds and in the perijunctional region. The formation of the high NaCh density occurs during synapse maturation, approximately 2 weeks afte
