Presynaptic nicotinic cholinoreceptors modulate velocity of the action potential propagation along the motor nerve endings at a high-frequency synaptic activity

Experiments on frog neuromuscular junctions have demonstrated that asynchrony of the acetylcholine quantal release forming the multi-quantal evoked response at high-frequency synaptic activity is caused, in particular, by a decrease in velocity of the action potential propagation along the non-myelinated nerve endings, which is mediated by activation of the α7 and α4β4 nicotinic cholinoreceptors.
