Review text

A method for obtaining delay histograms for the time course of neurotransmitter release is presented. The delay histogram is derived from the measured psc (or the sum of several psc's) and the mpsc (obtained experimentally or otherwise) by means of a simple, quick, mathematical procedure. The procedure may be automated for the greater part. No approximation of the mpsc shape is performed, and the method is applicable to all quantal contents.
