متن کاملSynaptic Physiology: Illuminating the Road Ahead
A number of genetically encoded reporters of neuronal activity are being developed to assay synaptic activity with single synapse resolution. A recently engineered probe allows imaging of glutamatergic transmission with high sensitivity, and similar probes may help pave the way for optical imaging of excitatory synaptic function in vivo.
متن کاملThe synaptosome as a model system for studying synaptic physiology.
Alongside rodent brain slices and primary neuronal cultures, synaptosomes (isolated nerve terminals) have been an important model system for studying the molecular mechanisms of synaptic function in the brain. Synaptosomes were first prepared in the late 1950s by Whittaker and colleagues and were instrumental in studying synaptic structure and defining the functional components of the synapse, ...
متن کاملSynaptic physiology in the cochlear nucleus angularis of the chick.
Nucleus angularis (NA), one of the two cochlear nuclei in birds, is important for processing sound intensity for localization and most likely has role in sound recognition and other auditory tasks. Because the synaptic properties of auditory nerve inputs to the cochlear nuclei are fundamental to the transformation of auditory information, we studied the properties of these synapses onto NA neur...
متن کاملSynaptic physiology of direction selectivity in the retina.
Detection of the direction of image movement is accomplished first in the retina by an elegant neuronal circuit, which integrates multiple levels of spatially asymmetric synaptic interactions among subsets of bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells. Central to these interactions is the asymmetric GABAergic inhibition exerted by the starburst amacrine cell (SAC), a cholinergic and GABAergic interne...
