## Abstract In this study it was found that several agents which elevate cAMP levels in cells also increase dramatically the quantity of transmitter released from crayfish excitatory nerve terminals in response to a stimulus. With respect to time course and magnitude, the increase produced by one o
Sera from 30 patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) were tested to determine their effects at the neuromuscular junction. Spontaneous transmitter release was significantly increased, as evidenced by a 151% increase in MEPP frequency, by sera from 16 ALS patients. In addition, 16
## Abstract Fatt and Katz (__Nature__ 166:597โ598, 1950; __J Physiol__ 117:109โ128, 1952) attributed miniature endplate potentials (MEPPs) to the action of a standard quantity of transmitter, the quantum (Del Castillo and Katz, __J Physiol__ 124:560โ573, 1954). Quantal packets of transmitter were p
