noun The act of transmitting, e.g. data or electric power. noun The fact of being transmitted. noun Something that is transmitted, such as a message, picture or a disease; the sending of such a thing. noun (biology) The passage of a nerve impulse across synapses. noun (automotiv...
'Some recent extensions of the chemical transmission of the effects of nerve impulses', Nobel Lecture, 12 December 1936. In Nobel Lectures: Physiology or Medicine 1922-1941 (1965), 412-3. Science quotes on: | Chemical (303) | Claim (154) | Colleague (51) | Conception (160) | Condition...
A brief reversal of electrical polarization across the neuronal membrane that results from the opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels and produces the nerve impulse that permits communication between neurons. Glycolysis A partial glucose metabolism that occurs in the cytosol or on membrane su...
WIN reverses synaptic impairment in a mouse model of Myasthenia gravis. (a) Decrement in the amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) recorded from the gastrocnemius muscle of a myasthenic mouse during repetitive stimulation of the sciatic nerve. Left: Representative CMAP recordings during...
Various subsets of nociceptors are further divided according to the type of stimuli (mechanical, chemical, thermal, or noxious) they respond to [1]. Nociceptors are predominantly made up of nerve terminals that express both ligand and voltage-gated ion channels [2]. Nociceptor neuron activity and...
Historically, glia has been considered as an accessory cellular compartment helping neuronal cells in their "noble" functions, chiefly nerve impulse transmission and synaptic communication. Over the last ten years, the concept of a tripartite synapse including the contribution of astrocytes to the ...
