Like some firings

Usage examples of synaptic.

All readings looked fine: glutamate, serotonin, do-pamine, cortical suppressant, amygdala regulator, P15, BDNF to strengthen the synaptic connections for learning in the hippocampus.

These channels make the membrane permeable to ions or molecules, which can then enter the cell and act as signals for the initiation of the biochemical cascades which ultimately lead, in ways that I shall describe in the next chapter, to the synthesis of new synaptic membrane components and hence to synaptic remodeling.

So the changed phosphorylation of the synaptic membrane, which probably results in calcium entering the cell, must act as some sort of a signal to the DNA in the nucleus.

Ali, S M, Bullock, S, and Rose, S P R Phosphorylation of synaptic proteins in chick forebrain: changes with development and passive avoidance training.

The time was still 08:02, but in one of those flashes of understanding when whole new synaptic pathways open up and ones brain undergoes a crash and rapid reboot, Pandora twigged.

They can be measured biochemically, in terms of a cellular cascade of processes which begins with the opening of ion channels in the synaptic membranes and proceeds by way of complex intracellular signals to the synthesis of new proteins which, inserted into the synaptic and dendritic membranes, are responsible for these morphological changes.

During these two weeks their brains grow rapidly, and by the time their eyes open almost all the neurons and glia are present, and a myriad of synaptic connections have been formed between the neurons.

Synaptic stabilization is a major theoretical issue in neurobiology, and its mechanism and function have been made the basis of broad theories of brain function both by the Parisian molecular neurobiologist Jean-Paul Changeaux and by the New York immunologist Gerald Edelman.

And a smaller, more neotenous brain enhanced his synaptic firing speed -- a determinant of intelligence.

Changes in synaptic connectivity between one neuron and another as a result of learning along hebbian lines might involve the dendrites increasing in length, or changing in branching pattern, or the numbers of their spines might alter.

In the hours that follow, these glycoproteins are inserted into the synaptic membranes, increasing the number of dendritic spines, and the synaptic contact areas in both left IMHV and left and right LPO.

Further, the types of morphological change we have found and that I discuss in Chapter 10, the changes in synaptic connections due to growth of new dendritic spines, the increases in synapse numbers and dimensions - changes analogous to those found in other labs and in other experimental paradigms - make theoretical sense.

Bliss, T V P, and L0mo, T Long-lasting potentiation of synaptic transmission in the dentate area of the anaesthetised rabbit following stimulation of the perforant path.

Early brain development in the foetus and newborn is itself associated first with a massive proliferation of cells, and then by a steady drop in number, but the space once occupied by the lost cells is taken up by an increase in the branching and synaptic connections made by those that remain.

Running away from the cell body is the axon, which branches into an array of processes each ending in synaptic terminals at which contact is made with the dendrites or cell bodies of other neurons.
