Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms: chemical and electrical. 2 Chemical synapses communicate ...

Neurotransmitters are the words our brain cells use to communicate with one another. For years, researchers relied on tools that provided limited temporal and spatial resolution to track changes in ...

The human eye can't tell the difference between the synapses on neurons where different neurotransmitters are released, but perhaps a computer model could. Funke and his colleagues were skeptical ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic neurons ... Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is ...

A recent study shows that early neurotransmitter switching—where neurons change their chemical ... To explore this, the ...
