ABSTRACT
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) has been studied for over a century as a model system for synaptic anatomy, physiology and development. Much of our knowledge of the NMJ has been obtained through imaging techniques, some of which were developed particularly to visualize this synapse's structure and function. In this paper we review the historical development of research on some key aspects of the NMJ, including its structure, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor distribution, the process of synaptic vesicle release, and its development.
