Depolarization of the presynaptic membrane causes release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft. |
Such tendon jerks are tested as part of a routine neurological examination, to assess the state of synaptic connections. |
Researchers believe these synaptic changes, called long-term potentiation or LTP, are the basis for learning in the brain. |
The correlation between changes in the kinetics of synaptic current and quantal amplitude remains strong for the corrected values as well. |
Regulation of glutamate reuptake occurs along with several forms of synaptic plasticity. |
When postsynaptic receptors are saturated, a quantum of synaptic current corresponds to the response evoked in a single synaptic bouton. |
