Differences between synaptic connections - Biology Stack Exchange
2015年11月1日 · Consider the following synaptic connections ():axodendritic - A term pertaining to an excitatory or inhibitory synaptic connection between the presynaptic axon of a transmitting neuron and the postsynaptic dendrite(s) of a receiving neuron in a nerve impulse pathway; such connections can influence whether or not a graded potential will be generated on a …

2015年11月11日 · Dendrodendritic synapses are activated in a similar fashion to axodendritic synapses in respects to using a chemical synapse. These chemical synapses receive a depolarizing signal from an incoming action potential which results in an influx of calcium ions that permit release of Neurotransmitters to propagate the signal the post synaptic cell.
What are the functions and differences between axons and …
Axodendritic: Axon is connected to another neuron’s dendrites. Axosomatic: Axon is connected directly to another neuron’s soma. In neuromuscular junctions, axons synapse directly on muscles. Presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is shown enlarged in the inset. Source: Rowland Hall.

Understanding presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibition
One way to classify neural inhibition is based on the inhibition being "presynaptic" or "postsynaptic". As far as I understand, the two different types of inhibition refer to the following: Presy...
Where in the nervous system are synapses chemical, and where …
Paraphrased from the Wikipedia article "Synapse": There are two fundamentally different kinds of synapses: Chemical synapses, which convert electrical activity in the presynaptic neuron into the
Do neurons secrete multiple neurotransmitters, or just one type?
2013年1月17日 · $\begingroup$ My knowledge isn't detailed enough for this specifically but as far as I know: each postsynaptic membrane has receptors to one specific neurotransmitter and each terminal only secretes one specific transmitter - which doesn't exclude that other terminals of the same neuron might secrete different transmitters.
Are synaptic boutons always located on axons?
2021年2月14日 · I am learning about the protein Synaptophysin and I have read that it is an integral membrane protein localised to synaptic vesicles. I have also read that it is a specific and sensitive marker for
