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. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:8pt;line-height:150%;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p>  </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Ankara University}
