It seems likely that multiple signaling pathways, some involving kinases, function cooperatively to define precise sites of synapse formation between axons and dendrites, and to determine ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Figure 7: Amplitude of smallest dendritic events shows little dependence on synapse location. Bannister, N. J. & Larkman, A. U. Dendritic morphology of CA1 pyramidal neurones from the rat ...

This study presents a valuable theoretical exploration on the electrophysiological mechanisms of ionic currents via gap junctions in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal-cell models, and their potential ...

and at the end of each dendritic spine is the synapse—a tiny space where the two cells meet, and an electrochemical signal is ...
