chemical synapse

Ca plays a significant role in transmitting signals at chemical synapses.

Monosynaptic refers to the presence of a single chemical synapse.

An autapse is a chemical synapse from a neuron onto itself.

Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system.

In many animals, electrical synapse-based systems co-exist with chemical synapses.

A chemical synapse makes a slow switch, and neural impulses move slower than sound.

For example, glial cells were not believed to have chemical synapses or to release transmitters.

At microlevel, it connects neurons through electrical or chemical synapses.

Most of the communications between nerve cells are via chemical synapses, small gaps across which chemicals flow.

Long-term potentiation is the persistent increase in the strength of a chemical synapse that lasts from hours to days.

Synaptic plasticity, refers to a chemical synapse's ability to undergo changes in strength.

Studies in the late 1960's provided the first evidence for plasticity in the chemical synapses of Aplysia.

See chemical synapse for more details.

The basic kinds of connections between neurons are chemical synapses and electrical gap junctions.

Chemical synapses are not deterministic, which means that every action potential produced does not result in the release of neurotransmitters.

At chemical synapses, glutamate is stored in vesicles.

The basolateral membrane forms chemical synapses with primary gustatory neurons (Fig.

Without a qualifier, however, "synapse" commonly means chemical synapse.

Exocytosis in neuronal chemical synapses is Ca triggered and serves interneuronal signalling.

They can take place at all chemical synapses which use the secretion of neurotransmitters to create cell to cell signalling.

Electrical synapses are faster than chemical synapses.

In some cases electrical synapses can be found within the same terminal of a chemical synapse, as in Mauthner cells.

The squid giant synapse is a chemical synapse found in squid.

Chemical synapses are by far the most prevalent and are the main player involved in excitatory synapses.

In the brain, messages are passed between two nerve cells via a chemical synapse, a small gap between the cells.
