I understand that if you add an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, you would get a bigger, longer EPP. But what if you add just acetylcholine? I found two conflicting source, where one ...

... Organophosphate esters are neurotoxic and have been used in chemical warfare as well as our household pesticides. They basically act to inhibit acetylcholinesterase to prevent the breakdown of ACh in our synapses. Question here is, why are they do different in toxicity? Some OP are so low in ...
