For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which is then received by a postsynaptic ...

University of Texas Southwestern researchers showed that knockout mice missing RIM1α, a presynaptic protein previously studied in vitro, performed worse at learning and memory tasks than did two other ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

Mapping presynaptic networks at a single-cell level ... These anatomical biases shape movement neuron identity within the somatosensory cortex. They also explore broader implications, noting ...

The activity of an individual neuron is constrained by the anatomical organization of its presynaptic network (the set of neurons from which it receives information). In the mouse brain ...

Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...
