The vasculature scales positively with neuron density, whereas layers and regions with higher synaptic densities exhibit ...

In the CNS, NO is involved in many processes, including the regulation of synaptic plasticity, the sleep–wake cycle, neurosecretion, fluid balance and reproductive processes. In the PNS ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

Neuroscientists believe that synaptic plasticity, as these changes are called, plays an important role in storing memories. However, the rules governing when and how much synapses change are not ...
