Information flows in a well-defined direction in the brain: Chemical and electrical ... at work in this synapse, Okamoto precisely stimulated the pre-synaptic terminal of the mossy fiber synapse ...

revealed the mobility and dynamic properties of these vesicles within the pre-synaptic terminal relied strongly on two factors: the type and size of the synapse, and the composition of the vesicle ...

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

There are two main modalities of synaptic transmission: chemical and electrical. Although chemical synapses are perceived to be structurally more complex and functionally dynamic than electrical ...

The reconstructed vesicle cycle model provides critical insights into synaptic transmission, advancing neuroscience and ...

However, this refilling rate had not been studied in inhibitory synapses. Prof. Takahashi and colleagues used glass electrodes to simultaneously take recordings from the pre-synaptic terminal and ...

Now, one group reports that they have developed an artificial synapse capable of simulating ... and stimulatory signals from the same 'pre-synaptic' terminal. One of the greatest challenges ...

Synaptic pruning is the process in which ... with one another using a combination of electrical and chemical signals. Synapses are the places where these neurons connect in order to function.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D images of the synapse, the important juncture where neurons communicate with each other through an exchange of chemical signals. These nanometer ...
