Synaptic transmission as a cooperative phenomenon in confined systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this review paper, the theory of synaptic transmission (ST) was developed and discussed. We used the hypothesis of isomorphism between: (a) the cooperative behavior of mediators --- acetylcholine molecules (ACh) and cholinoreceptors in a synaptic ...

Multiquantal release underlies the distribution of synaptic efficacies in the neocortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2009
Inter-pyramidal synaptic connections are characterized by a wide range of EPSP amplitudes. Although repeatedly observed at different brain regions and across layers, little is known about the synaptic characteristics that contribute to this wide range ...

Caveolin-1 deficiency impairs synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2021
In addition to providing structural support, caveolin-1 (Cav1), a component of lipid rafts, including caveolae, in the plasma membrane, is involved in various cellular mechanisms, including signal transduction. Although pre-synaptic membrane dynamics and

Slow synaptic transmission in frog sympathetic ganglia [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Bullfrog ganglia contain two classes of neurone, B and C cells, which receive different inputs and exhibit different slow synaptic potentials. B cells, to which most effort has been directed, possess slow and late slow EPSPs.

Microglia-Dependent Alteration of Glutamatergic Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity in the Hippocampus during Peripheral Inflammation

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2015
Peripheral inflammatory diseases are often associated with behavioral comorbidities including anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction, but the mechanism for these is not well understood.

GLIA modulates synaptic transmission

open access: yesBrain Research Reviews, 2010
The classical view of glial cells as simple supportive cells for neurons is being replaced by a new vision in which glial cells are active elements involved in the physiology of the nervous system. This new vision is based on the fact that astrocytes, a subtype of glial cells in the CNS, are stimulated by synaptically released neurotransmitters, which ...

Rab11 as a modulator of synaptic transmission [PDF]

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2013
Many neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by synaptic dysfunction preceding general neuronal loss and subsequent cognitive or behavioral anomalies. Much recent research has been aimed at understanding the early underlying processes leading to dysfunction at the synapse, as this knowledge would likely inform interventions that could potentially

Efficient Coding and Energy Efficiency Are Promoted by Balanced Excitatory and Inhibitory Synaptic Currents in Neuronal Network

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Selective pressure may drive neural systems to process as much information as possible with the lowest energy cost. Recent experiment evidence revealed that the ratio between synaptic excitation and inhibition (E/I) in local cortex is generally ...
