Information transmission in the brains of vertebrates is through synapses, which a mechanism that allows an electric or chemical signal to be passed from one brain cell to another. Chemical synapses, which are the most abundant type of synapse, can be either excitatory or inhibitory. Synapse formation is crucial for learning, memory, perception and cognition, and the balance between excitatory and inhibitory synapses critical for brain function. For instance, every ...Friday 11 July 2014
Study Sheds Light on Information Transmission Through Synapses
