At a synapse between an afferent sensory neuron and an interneuron, a toxin prevents the closing of calcium voltage-gated channels in the presynaptic membrane of the dendrites. 1.

Describe briefly the type of symptoms you might expect a patient to complain of in this case (assume that the sensory neuron is transmitting impulses conveying pressure within the smooth muscles of the stomach).
