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 ...

Let a synapse be an open three-compartmental system. Compartment 1 comprises presynaptic elements where synthesis and storage of a neurotransmitter or a hormone occurs. For example, in case of cholinergic or adrenergic synapses it corresponds morphologically to a nerve terminal of the unmyelinated axon.

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 ...

TIMING OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
Annual Review of Physiology, 1999▪ Abstract Many behaviors require rapid and precisely timed synaptic transmission. These include the determination of a sound's direction by detecting small interaural time differences and visual processing, which relies on synchronous activation of large populations of neurons.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses synaptic transmission, mediated by chemical neurotransmitter substances. The chapter focuses on chemical synaptic transmission, including another form of signal transfer referred to as electrical transmission, which is mediated by the gap junctions.

Synaptic transmission in the retina
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1991A recent highlight in the study of the retina has been the publication of evidence that the response of the ON bipolar cells is generated by a cGMP-mediated second messenger system. This GTP-binding protein mechanism is activated by the binding of glutamate, the photoreceptor neurotransmitter, to the 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (APB) class of receptor.

Gangliosides and Synaptic Transmission
1980Gangliosides usually make up only a small proportion of the lipids constituting the plasma cell membrane. It is also characteristic that the concentration of gangliosides and their pattern in a given organ vary widely with species and between different organs in a species.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of synaptic transmission. Synaptic transmission is the process at synapses by which a chemical signal (a transmitter) is released from one neuron and is diffuses to other neurons or target cells where it generates a signal that excites, inhibits, or modulates cellular activity.

Phosphoinositides and Synaptic Transmission
1996The isolation of a “diphosphoinositide” fraction from ox brain by Folch (1949) and the observation by Dawson (1954) that radioactive phosphate was rapidly incorporated into its lipids laid the foundations of our present knowledge of the brain phosphoinositides.
