Recently, we demonstrated the validity of anomalous numbers law, known as
Newcomb-Benford's law, at the mammalian neuromuscular transmission, considering
different extracellular calcium concentrations arXiv:2002.01986. The present
work continues to examine how alterations in extracellular solution modulate
the first digit law in the context of the spontaneous release of acetylcholine
from the neuromuscular junction. We investigated if the intervals of miniature
potentials collected at the neuromuscular junction obey the law in a
hyperkalemic environment. The analysis showed that the interval between the
miniature potentials at high potassium concentrations follows Newcomb-Benford's
law. Also, our data allowed us to uncover a conformity fluctuation as a
function of the number of intervals of the miniature potentials. Finally, we
discuss the biophysical implications of the present findings.Comment: 25 pages, 6 figure
