A Theory of Synaptic Transmission [PDF]
Abstract Rapid and precise neuronal communication is enabled through a highly synchronous release of signaling molecules neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft within just milliseconds of the action potential. Yet neurotransmitter release lacks a theoretical framework that is both phenomenologically accurate and mechanistically ...

Turbocharging synaptic transmission
Evidence from biochemistry, genetics, and electron microscopy strongly supports the idea that a ring of Synaptotagmin is central to the clamping and release of synaptic vesicles (SVs) for synchronous neurotransmission. Recent direct measurements in cell‐free systems suggest there are 12 SNAREpins in each ready‐release vesicle, consisting of six ...

TRPV1 and Synaptic Transmission
Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2011Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 is a prominent "pain" receptor expressed in sensory afferent neurons. TRPV1 on peripheral nerve terminals detects a variety of noxious stimuli generated at sites of injury and inflammation, and in turn, drives the excitation and sensitization of C-fibers neurons.

Excitation and Synaptic Transmission
Annual Review of Physiology, 1962The main properties of nerve and muscle cells to be considered in this section are the differences in potential and in ion contents between the interior of the cell and its normal environment, and excitability. The most widely accepted model used to explain these properties is that of a mem brane of limited permeability separating the internal and ...

Synaptic Transmission with the Glia
Physiology, 2001For decades, scientists thought that all of the missing secrets of brain function resided in neurons. However, a wave of new findings indicates that glial cells, formerly considered mere supporters and subordinate to neurons, participate actively in synaptic integration and processing of information in the brain.

Synaptic Transmission in the Cockroach
Nature, 1958ALTHOUGH the synaptic transmission across the last abdominal ganglion of the cockroach has been studied by several workers1–3, the knowledge obtained so far seems to be less complete than for synapses in vertebrate animals. In the present investigation electrical phenomena associated with the synaptic transmission across this ganglion were analysed ...

Synaptic Transmission in the Brain
Klinische Wochenschrift, 19701. Synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain is probably mediated by excitatory or inhibitory substances released from nerve endings.
