Long-term forms of synaptic plasticity that may underlie learning and memory have been suggested to depend on changes in the number of synapses between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. Here we ...
Midbrain dopamine neurons project densely to the striatum and form so-called dopamine synapses on medium spiny neurons (MSNs), principal neurons in the striatum. Because dopamine receptors are widely ...
Acetylcholine (AcCho) release from purely cholinergic Torpedo synaptosomes was evoked by K$^{+}$ depolarization in the presence of Ca$^{2+}$. Activation of muscarinic receptors, present in the ...
