In this study, the
emergences of postsynaptic action potentials are investigated using simulation
study which is depended on the statistical model of acetylcholine (Ach) quantal
release theory at motor end-plate. It is supposed that the end-plate potentials
(EPP) are sum of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPP) which are released as
quantal and random in number (N). By the hypothesis that N number has a Poisson
and MEPPs have a Gaussian distribution,  EPPs
are obtained by simulating distributions parameters. Our study suggests that
the simulation of the EPPs are  a
convenient tool  in understanding both
physiological process of synaptic transmission 
and pathological process of neuromuscular junction.
