Primes

• Potentiation
  • Physiology: Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) in muscle, where a brief tetanic stimulus to a motor neuron leaves the neuromuscular junction hyper-responsive for minutes afterward, increasing force output to identical stimuli, a phenomenon Magleby and Zengel (1976) characterized through their analysis of long-term changes in transmitter-release augmentation; post-extrasystolic potentiation (PEP) in cardiac physiology, where a premature beat triggers the next normal beat to produce enhanced force—the cardiac analog of PTP.

    This sourceFoundational characterization of post-tetanic potentiation at the neuromuscular junction: residual presynaptic calcium and altered transmitter release kinetics underlie history-dependent force enhancement.
