Experimental demonstration of STP for neuromuscular synapse. Presynaptic motor nerve was stimulated by train of electrical pulses. The end-plate potentials (EPPs) that are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibres caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction are facilitated initially, followed by a depression. Epps return to their rest state after removing the stimulation. Reprinted with permission from [5]
