This process suggests that the branches sample the environment to detect the appropriate cells with which to form synapses.
In the normal cell, some of these branches would form synapses, which is not the case in the neurons expressing the peptide.
Further, mice deficient in Dok-7 did not form either acetylcholine receptor clusters or neuromuscular synapses.
Amazingly, a single axon can form synapses with as many as 1,000 other neurons.
Each climbing fiber will form synapses with 1-10 Purkinje cells.
Approximately 78% of neurogliaforms do not form classical synapses.
Studies have shown that neurons form synapses with polydendrocytes in both gray matter and white matter.
Neurites could be directed toward each other over large distances and allowed to form synapses.
Only parasympathetic fibers form synapses in the ganglion.
Learning strengthens some connections between neurons, known as synapses, and even forms new synapses.
