| Regulation of glutamate reuptake occurs along with several forms of synaptic plasticity. |
| Researchers believe these synaptic changes, called long-term potentiation or LTP, are the basis for learning in the brain. |
| Such tendon jerks are tested as part of a routine neurological examination, to assess the state of synaptic connections. |
| Ed laughed lightly at catching her in her own synaptic misfire while she glared fierily at him. |
| When postsynaptic receptors are saturated, a quantum of synaptic current corresponds to the response evoked in a single synaptic bouton. |
| The resulting synaptic inhibition is characterized by either a depressant or an excitant effect, depending on the population of cells involved. |
