BOSTON (June 16, 2008) — Rapid information processing in the nervous system requires synapses, specialized contact sites between nerve cells and their targets. One particular synapse type, cholinergic ...

A BASIC step in the functioning of chemically operating synapses is the effect of the transmitter substance on the postsynaptic membrane. Although in some synapses the transmitter acts on ion “pumping ...

It was initially hard to believe that, despite the large number of vesicles docked at any central synapse, transmitter release was monovesicular — an action potential released only one vesicle from a ...
