Synapses are composed of thousands of proteins, providing the potential for extensive molecular diversity to shape synapse type-specific functional specializations. In this Review, we explore the ...

The brain’s functionality is developed and maintained through synaptic plasticity. As synapses undergo plasticity, they also affect each other. The nature of such ‘co-dependency’ is difficult to ...

When an electrical signal arrives at the presynaptic terminal, neurotransmitters are released from vesicles into the gap between neurons. The neurotransmitters then trigger an electrical signal in the ...
