| Comments | P.59 right column 4th paragraph: "Frog neuromuscular junction: In the cutaneous pectoris and sartorius NMJs of the frog (Rana pipiens) (FIG. 3), the total vesicle pool contains ~500,000 vesicles [primary sources]. An initial phase of release (from the RRP [Readily releasable pool]) is exhausted within ~0.5 s of high-frequency stimulation [ref 8]: these vesicles make up ~2% of the total pool [ref 37]." |
