First sentence: Drury and Szent-Gyorgyi demonstrated way back in 1929 the potent extracellular actions of ATP and, in the 1950s, Pamela Holton presented the first hint of a transmitter role for ATP in the nervous system by demonstrating release of ATP during antidromic stimulation of sensory nerves (Holton, 1959).
