Exempel på synapsis

• Each punctum represents one or two closeproximity synapses.

• In contrast, peripheral afferents constitute only 15% of total synapses.

• The peri synaptic membranes were more deeply polarized when driven by clustered synapses, and least when driven by the unconfined distribution (second and third rows).

• The most parsimonious explanation would be that no functional synapses were formed in the outer plexiform layer to allow for synaptic transmission in these mice.

• This leaves the possibility of electrical synapses or a second type of transmitter.

• Inhibitory synapses formed by inhibitory cells are shown by filled circles.

• Output synapses include 25 dyads and 6 monads, ribbon synapses with a single postsynaptic element.

• Thus, adverse postnatal experience could contribute significantly to disordered development; enriching experiences, on the other hand, could potentially facilitate survival of neurons and synapses.

• In accord, voltage attenuations were severe for synapses located anywhere within 80% of the arbor (>75% loss at the soma).

• The fact that the various synaptotagmins are co-expressed in synapses but not co-localized on synaptic vesicles suggests that they may have distinct functions.

• This might explain why glutamate released from astrocytes produces such diverse effects on different synapses and cell types.

• If synapses are stabilized by the light exposure, then the second deprivation should have no effect.

• Note that the relative density of immunoreactive processes or terminals may not be directly related to the density of synapses.

• Synaptic ribbons or bars are electron dense structures on the presynaptic side of photoreceptor and bipolar cell synapses.

• A set of plastic synapses on a command neuron constitutes a link vector.
