These studies have explored the dynamics of three- and four-cell neural networks coupled by chemical (excitatory, inhibitory, or both types of synapses) as well as electrical synapses, revealing the ability of these networks to produce multiple rhythmic patterns [31,32,33,34,35,36]. One of ...
Synapse Synapse is a specialized intercellular site where fast, highly localized transmission of chemical and electrical signals can occur. Although the vast majority of synapses in the mammalian brain are chemical, synaptic transmission can be chemical or electrical. At chemical synapses, neurotransmitter...
