Pre-synaptic facilitation at the frog neuromuscular junction. The activity of a frog sartorius muscle cell is recorded in normal Ringer's solution (Vm = -90 mV). The motor end plate currents are evoked by repetitive stimulations of the motor nerve. The average current intensity in response to the response to the first stimulation is 0.5 ľA. This amplitude gradually rises following second and third stimulations.
