Eksempler på synapse

• Transmission at the retino-geniculate synapse in cats is influenced by the structure of pre- and postsynaptic spike trains.

• An electron microscopic study of synapse formation, receptor outer segment development, and other aspects of developing mouse retina.

• In the turtle visual system, color opponency is found in the first synapse between cones and horizontal cells.

• There are also examples of synapse elimination that leave more than one input onto the target.

• The principal input to these circuits are thalamic afferents that synapse on excitatory cells with spiny dendrites.

• Interestingly, astrocytic coverage of the axon- spine interface varies highly from synapse to synapse.

• Thus, astrocytes have the ability to continuously redefine their shape, possibly to match the activity level of the synapse and modulate neurotransmission.

• Dashed lines represent pathways that are no longer present and empty circles signify pathways with at least one synapse.

• Stabilization of complex input-output functions in neural clusters formed by synapse selection.

• Two actions of calcium regulate the supply of releasable vesicles at the ribbon synapse of retinal bipolar cells.

• The variance saturates as expected for a binary synapse.

• There may be specific biochemical dysfunctions and abnormalities of synapse formation and regulation.

• As the release probability approaches 1, the synapse tends to release maximally for every stimulus, and thus the amplitude variance declines.

• Neuroscientists required electron microscopes to affirm the reality of the synapse.

• Lateral movement of extrasynaptic receptors to the synapse (4) can also replenish receptors at this location.
