Neuroligin-1 is found on the postsynaptic side of excitatory synapses 5, and neurexins may be primarily localized to the presynaptic membrane, although definitive evidence is lacking. Serafini and ...

Synaptic efficacy is a basic concept in neuroscience for which we have an intuitive definition — the capacity of a presynaptic input to influence postsynaptic output. Similarly, we have an ...

The primitive hydra provides an evolutionarily early example of basic neural networks. Its synaptic connections between ...

This study presents a valuable finding on the molecular mechanisms that govern GABAergic inhibitory synapse function. The authors propose that Endophilin A1 serves as a novel regulator of GABAergic ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic ... reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and ...

The connection point between a neuron emitting a (the presynaptic neuron) and the receiving neuron (the postsynaptic neuron) ...

Its synaptic connections between neurons display the typical downstream flow of neurotransmitter from presynaptic neurons to neuroreceptors on downstream postsynaptic neurons. However, this ...
