Functional Properties of Synaptic Transmission in Primary Sense Organs

Functional properties of synaptic transmission in primary sense organs.

Sensory receptors transduce physical stimuli in the environment into neural signals that are interpreted by the brain. Although considerable attention has been given to how the sensitivity and dynamic range of sensory receptors is established, peripheral synaptic interactions improve the fidelity with which receptor output is transferred to the brain. For instance, synapses in the retina, cochl...

Synaptic Transmission: Functional Autapses in the Cortex

Autapses--synapses made by a neuron onto itself--have often been observed anatomically in vivo, but their purpose has remained uncertain. A recent paper describes functional autapses in the cerebral cortex and gives clues to their physiological role.

the role of russia in transmission of energy from central asia and caucuses to european union

پس ازفروپاشی شوروی،رشد منابع نفت و گاز، آسیای میانه و قفقاز را در یک بازی ژئوپلتیکی انرژی قرار داده است. با در نظر گرفتن این منابع هیدروکربنی، این منطقه به یک میدانجنگ و رقابت تجاری برای بازی های ژئوپلتیکی قدرت های بزرگ جهانی تبدیل شده است. روسیه منطقه را به عنوان حیات خلوت خود تلقی نموده و علاقمند به حفظ حضورش می باشد تا همانند گذشته گاز طبیعی را به وسیله خط لوله مرکزی دریافت و به عنوان یک واس...

The Physiology of Sense Organs

to the non-sporeforming anaerobes (Bacteroidaceae, anaerobic cocci, Lacto-bacteria and Corynebacteria, Actinomycetes). The book by Smith and Holdeman, published as part of the American Lecture Series in Clinical Microbiology, fills a void. Both authors have been working in the Anaerobic Bacteriology Laboratory at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for years and draw on extensive experience, par...
