Synaptic transmission is a fundamental process by which neurons communicate with each other, this communication occurring at synapses – specialized intercellular junctions formed between ...

Figure 5: Astroglial process extension toward synaptic clefts enhances glutamate clearance and decreases AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission. For analysis of astrocytic ramification, we used an ...

These modifications of synaptic transmission result in stronger or ... shown that RIM proteins are essential in regulating this process. The release of the neurotransmitter from the presynaptic ...

That's the signal and this process is very fast ... protein players and the broad strokes of membrane fusion for synaptic transmission. Bernard Katz was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Medicine ...

Information flows in a well-defined direction in the brain: Chemical and electrical signals are passed from one neuron to the other across the synapse, from the pre-synaptic to the post-synaptic ...

However now, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have for first time elucidated details about the architecture of the synaptic transmission process. The findings ...

We rely on synaptic ... transmission of signals across synaptic connections in the brain. These specific proteins are called AMPARs and are considered key players in synaptic plasticity, the ...
