Abstract
► An oxygen/glucose deprivation stress was applied to mouse neuromuscular preparations. ► This stress elevated [Ca2 +] and depolarized mitochondria within motor terminals. ► Removal of bath Ca2 + during the stress preserved motor terminals and axons. ► Inhibitors of Ca2 + influx and of calpain activation preserved endplate innervation. ► Motor terminal degeneration following oxygen/glucose deprivation is Ca2 +-dependent.
