Effects of Deltamethrin (DM) on neuromuscular junction are studied in crayfish.
DM leads to depolarization block by a ∼20 mV step depolarization in some motor axons.
DM shifts action potential (AP) initiation site in some axons.
The shift could explain a reduction in synaptic delay observed in some synapses.
The depolarization block occurs before AP duration or frequency is changed.
