Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Neuroligin-1 is found on the postsynaptic side of excitatory synapses 5, and neurexins may be primarily localized to the presynaptic membrane, although definitive evidence is lacking. Serafini and ...

Figure 1: Differential modulation of postsynaptic firing by presynaptic gamma-frequency activity in two interneuron–interneuron connections. Figure 2: Electron microscopic evidence for gap ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic ... reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and ...

For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which is then received by a postsynaptic ...
