Focal application in vivo of alpha-bungarotoxin to block neurotransmission in a small region of a neuromuscular junction causes long-lasting synapse elimination at that site. In contrast, blockade of neurotransmission throughout a junction does not cause synapse elimination. These and related experiments indicate that active synaptic sites can destabilize inactive synapses in their vicinity.
在体内局部应用α-银环蛇毒素以阻断神经肌肉接头小区域内的神经传递，会导致该部位长期的突触消除。相比之下，阻断整个接头的神经传递并不会导致突触消除。这些及相关实验表明，活跃的突触位点会使其附近不活跃的突触变得不稳定。
