Abstract
1. The effect of calcium on synaptic transmission has been studied by intracellular recording of pre‐ and post‐synaptic potential changes in the stellate ganglion of the squid.2. For a given presynaptic ‘input’ (propagated spike, or local depolarizing pulse after tetrodotoxin treatment), the post‐synaptic response increases with external calcium concentration [Ca]o in a highly non‐linear fashion, indicating that transmitter output varies with more than the second power of [Ca]o over a certain concentration range.
