synaptic gap

The scene welded some synaptic gap deep in my brain.

The first cell releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter into the synaptic gap.

These are specialised molecules that cross the synaptic gap and stimulate the second nerve cell.

Communication requires the exchange of chemical substances in the synaptic gap, called neurotransmitters.

These molecules cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on the next neuron.

These neurotransmitters traverse the tiny synaptic gap and pass the impulse on to the next cell.

The propositional network is dendritic, and there are synaptic gaps between propositions.

Receptors on the opposite side of the synaptic gap bind neurotransmitter molecules.

Because of the synaptic gaps between neurons, messages travel along nerve fibres at much less than light-speed.

They are faster because they do not need the slow diffusion of neurotransmitters across the synaptic gap.

The neurotransmitters traverse the synaptic gap and trigger a response in the neighboring neuron.

Cocaine, for example, blocks the reuptake of dopamine, leaving these neurotransmitters in the synaptic gap longer.

Oliver Sacks turns brain anomalies into suspense thrillers, with synaptic gaps as cliffhangers.

The nerve impulse does indeed travel from one neuron to the next, but how does it travel across the synaptic gap?

As a result, the serotonin stays in the synaptic gap longer than it normally would, and may repeatedly stimulate the receptors of the recipient cell.

These operations and drugs which affect the synaptic gap in neurones can and do radically alter peoples personality profiles.

It can mimic serotonin to the point where the body thinks its serotonin and consequently shoots it across the synaptic gap.

Nerve signals jump the synaptic gap with the help of specialized chemicals called neurotransmitters that are released from the tips of the dendrite.

Living cells are dendritic: They reach out their dendritic tendrils towards each other and communicate electrochemically across synaptic gaps.

Acetylcholine is produced in the body of the neuron by choline acetyltransferase and transported down the axon to the synaptic gap.

The venom acts on the synaptic gaps of the nerves, thereby paralyzing muscles, and in severe bites leading to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

These drugs inhibit the transport of serotonin back into the pre-synaptic neuron, leaving more serotonin in the synaptic gap to be used.

This release of neurotransmitters in the synaptic gap (stored in vesicles), allows the intervention of psychotropic drugs.

"Kiss and run" has been shown to occur in endocrine cells, though it has not been directly witnessed in synaptic gaps.

Block this re-uptake, and the transmitters will just sit in the synaptic gap, stimulating the receptors again and again and again.
