The presynaptic bouton is filled with synaptic vesicles, small membranous vehicles that contain the chemical messengers (neurotransmitters). After a priming step, ...

The protrusions were engulfed by Bergmann glia processes. Images were captured by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and 3D reconstructed using computer software. B shows a close ...

The number and position of NGFC presynaptic boutons around the postsynaptic dendritic segments in the model were used according to structural characteristics of GABAergic connections established by ...

Neuronal transmission at a synaptic contact is determined by the number of synaptic vesicles exocytosed from the presynaptic bouton and the postsynaptic responsiveness to transmitter released from a ...

Bouton paused, looked Nelson up and down and then smiled. “He says, ‘As I remember it, I threw knuckleballs and you tried to throw knuckleballs,’ Nelson said.

Changes in presynaptic boutons of layer 2/3 neurons. (A) Presynaptic marker SYP-GFP coexpressed with tdTomato in a layer 2/3 excitatory neuron. White arrows mark persistent boutons, red arrows mark ...

Transmitter release from a presynaptic bouton is dynamically controlled by a variety of activity-dependent modulations of critical factors, such as AP waveforms, Ca 2+ channel activation, and Ca ...

Third, postsynaptic Tnc influenced the development of postsynaptic structures (bouton size and SSR complexity), similar to integrin and spectrin (Figures 3 and 4 and [Beumer et al., 1999; Pielage et ...
