More work is needed, however, to establish which types of LTP and LTD predominate during natural synaptic and firing conditions in vivo. Figure 6: Modulation of pyramidal-neuron function by ...

The cellular and molecular mechanisms that ensure the elaborate connection and function of the nervous system can then be dissected with single neuron resolution. How can one achieve this purpose?

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.
