Revealing the fundamental principles of how neural circuits are organized and operate is a key challenge in neuroscience. In the past 60 years, intensive effort has been invested in characterizing ...

The synapse, a highly ordered and dynamic subcellular system, maintains autonomy, organization, and high-fidelity neurotransmission without a bounding membrane.

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...
