The process of synaptic transmission involves four steps: I. Synthesis and Storage Neurotransmitters are divided into two categories: (1) small-molecule neurotransmitters and (2)neuropeptides. Small-molecule neurotransmitters are processed within the axon terminal. An example of this is acetylcholine (Ach...
Whether in the brain or in the muscles, wherever there are nerve cells, there are synapses. These contact points between neurons form the basis for the transmission of excitation, the communication between neurons. As in ... Oct 12, 2023 0 270 page 1 from 5 « » Phys...
transmission, respectively. The regulation ofsynaptic efficacyalso varies by mechanisms of induction—that is, the nature of the neural signals that initiate the synaptic change; by mechanisms of expression, the proximal causes of synaptic changes; by mechanisms of maintenance, the steps involved in ...

transmission deficit can contribute toward TS symptoms41.GRIK4, encoding a glutamate-gated ionic channel, has shown associations with mathematical ability and educational attainment42and weaker associations with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder43. Theγ-aminobutyric acid receptors and the HCN channel...
Traditionally, memory had been a concept of old-time psychology, the science of the ‘psyche.’ It was an abstract notion divorced from mechanistic reality, and the attempt to explain it in terms of the known hardware of the nervous system (Cajal, 1894; McCulloch and Pitts, 1943; Konorski...
Also, we tested the explanatory potential of reduced NMDAR-mediated synaptic transmission. In particular, we tested cortical disinhibition27, caused by diminished NMDAR efficacy at inhibitory interneurons (hypothesis II: reduced gEI), and the hypofunction of NMDARs at recurrent excitatory synapses, ...
In some neurons, high rates of firing lead to broaden- ing of action potentials that probably results from cumulative inactivation of K+ channels, and may facilitate synaptic transmission by increasing Ca2+ influx in presynaptic terminals [8]. Afterdepolarization In many neurons (e.g., pyramidal ...
