Short example sentences

Heterosynaptic plasticity can also be postsynaptic in nature, affecting receptor sensitivity. (11 words)

Rather, it depends on the class of chemical receptors present on the postsynaptic neuron. (14 words)

Antipsychotics All antipsychotic substances, except clozapine, are relatively potent postsynaptic dopamine receptor blockers (dopamine antagonists ). (15 words)

Longer example sentences

It was shown that in stimulated muscles the decrease in frequency of the miniature potentials runs parallel to the decrease in postsynaptic potential as well as to the decrease in muscle contraction. (32 words)

Integration of synaptic inputs main In general, if an excitatory synapse is strong enough, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron will trigger an action potential in the postsynaptic cell. (30 words)

Recent studies have shown that sponge cells express a group of proteins that cluster together to form a structure resembling a postsynaptic density (the signal-receiving part of a synapse). (30 words)

Example sentences (20)

These can be postsynaptic dopamine receptors, which are located on dendrites (the postsynaptic neuron), or presynaptic autoreceptors (e.

When the neurotransmitter has been secreted into the synaptic cleft, it binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic cell, thereby generating a postsynaptic electrical signal.

Acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors at the postsynaptic membrane to open the sodium-channels there, generating a new action potential.

After chronic use, neurons adapt to the change in biochemistry, resulting in a change in pre- and postsynaptic receptor density and second messenger function.

Antipsychotics All antipsychotic substances, except clozapine, are relatively potent postsynaptic dopamine receptor blockers (dopamine antagonists ).

At a chemical synapse, the cell that sends signals is called presynaptic, and the cell that receives signals is called postsynaptic.

Binding of neurotransmitters may influence the postsynaptic neuron in either an inhibitory or excitatory way.

Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic areas are full of molecular machinery that carries out the signalling process.

Advertentie

Chemical synapses pass information directionally from a presynaptic cell to a postsynaptic cell and are therefore asymmetric in structure and function.

Depending on the type of receptor, the resulting effect on the postsynaptic cell may be excitatory, inhibitory, or modulatory in more complex ways.

Heterosynaptic plasticity can also be postsynaptic in nature, affecting receptor sensitivity.

In any case, this is the key step by which the synaptic process affects the behavior of the postsynaptic cell.

Integration of synaptic inputs main In general, if an excitatory synapse is strong enough, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron will trigger an action potential in the postsynaptic cell.

It was shown that in stimulated muscles the decrease in frequency of the miniature potentials runs parallel to the decrease in postsynaptic potential as well as to the decrease in muscle contraction.

Plasma membranes can also form different types of "supramembrane" structures such as caveola, postsynaptic density, podosome, invadopodium, desmosome, hemidesmosome, focal adhesion, and cell junctions.

Rather, it depends on the class of chemical receptors present on the postsynaptic neuron.

Recent studies have shown that sponge cells express a group of proteins that cluster together to form a structure resembling a postsynaptic density (the signal-receiving part of a synapse).

Receptor desensitization Desensitization of the postsynaptic receptors is a decrease in response to the same neurotransmitter stimulus.

Since the dopamine remains in the synapse longer, the neurotransmitter continues to bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, eliciting a pleasurable emotional response.

Some of it escapes, but some of it binds to chemical receptor molecules located on the membrane of the postsynaptic cell.
