Released glutamate traverses this space by passive diffusion, and because its target glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic neuron are ... and proteinous components of the synapses has to take ...

The nucleus where the genes that modify neuron function are controlled is a long distance away from where neurons receive ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...

Making the transistor operate as a neuron or synapse is as simple as selecting the appropriate resistance for the bulk terminal. The physical phenomenon of "impact ionisation" had traditionally ...
