Quantal Synaptic Transmission

Quantal Synaptic Transmission is a neurophysiological framework that describes synaptic transmission in terms of discrete, uniform units of neurotransmitter release, distinguishing it from continuous models by positing that each quantum corresponds to the contents of a single synaptic vesicle.
