We know that communication between two neurons occurs at specialized cell junctions called synapses, at which two communicating neurons are sepa...

Irreversible Desensitization of Atp Responses in Developing Chick Skeletal Muscle by Steven A. Thomas and Richard

1. In developing chick skeletal muscle, extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) elicits an early excitatory conductance increase followed by a late potassium conductance increase. Both of these responses desensitize profoundly. Intracellular recordings and whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were made in order to examine the time course and mechanism of desensitization and the recovery fr...
