The signals carried along axons trigger the release of neurotransmitters (like dopamine or gabba) into the synaptic cleft. This is the gap between the receiving dendrites of one neuron and the ...

The presynaptic terminal is separated from the cell; the neurotransmitter stimulates by a small gap called the synaptic cleft. Together, the presynaptic terminal, synaptic cleft and the receiving ...

However, it was unclear whether the flow of potassium ions into the synaptic cleft had a physiological purpose. An international team of researchers including Alexey Semyanov from the RIKEN Brain ...

Chemical synaptic transmission is an important mode of signalling in the nervous system. The prevailing view is that chemical synaptic transmission exclusively involves bipartite synapses ...

In order to communicate with neighboring neurons, the presynaptic terminal of the synapse releases a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft, to be taken up by the postsynaptic receptor.

Between them lies the synaptic cleft. This is actually very narrow. Nevertheless, it prevents the electrical impulses from being easily transmitted. Instead, the neurons in a sense shout their ...

known as the synaptic cleft. (4) The neurotransmitters bind to receptor sites on ion channels in the postsynaptic membrane, causing them to open. (5) Ions flow into the postsynaptic neuron ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the ...

The junction between two neurons, called a synapse, and the chemistry that takes place between synapses, in the space called the synaptic cleft, are responsible for learning and memory. At a more ...

A mechanism for transporting Posner molecules into presynaptic neurons during a ``kiss and run" exocytosis, which releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, is proposed. Quantum ...

Since an SSRI blocks the normal reuptake of serotonin from the synaptic cleft, the neurotransmitter stays in this extracellular space longer than normal, and in response, the brain’s synthesis ...
