Explore the neurophysiological concepts of end-plate potentials and synaptic quanta in this 17-minute lecture from NPTEL-NOC IITM. Delve into the mechanisms of neuromuscular junction signaling, examining how neurotransmitter release generates electrical responses at the motor end plate. Learn about the quantized nature of synaptic transmission and how these discrete packets of neurotransmitters contribute to the overall synaptic response in neural communication.
