The regulation of quantal size

Quantal size can be altered experimentally by numerous treatments that seem to lack any common thread. The observations may seem haphazard and senseless unless clear distinctions are made from the outset. Some treatments shift the size of the entire population of quanta. These quanta are released by nerve stimulation. Other treatments add quanta of abnormal size or shape--monstrosities--to the population (4.0). Usually, perhaps even invariably, the monstrosities are not released by nerve… CONTINUE READING
