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 functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent ...

synaptic plasticity, necessary for motor learning, is seriously affected when either of these kainate receptors is suppressed ...

Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform ... or Medicine for his work on synaptic transmission and biology.

This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to trigger the impulse in the postsynaptic neuron. This process is called summation.
