摘要：

In order to assess the applicability of theoretical distributions to statistical analysis of neurotransmitter release, we made mathematical approaches such as derivation of frequency-generating function of the distributions, and obtained a result that a frequency distribution of the number of quanta released by the consecutive stimulations is described by a Pascal distribution when the Poisson parameter m varies temporally according to a gamma (γ) distribution. Therefore, if the experimentally obtained distribution fits with a Pascal distribution, this suggests the non-stationary nature of the release mechanism. © 1990.
