Examples

1. ‘At the end of the trunk is a synapse or connection with other items
2. usually roots of other neurons.’
3. ‘Yet a second problem was how this protein
4. once it was manufactured in the cell body of the neuron
5. could then find the one synapse among thousands that had called for it.’
6. ‘A neurotransmitter such as acetylcholine is responsible for allowing nerve impulses to jump across a gap between two nerve cells in the brain called synapse.’
7. ‘An electrical signal travels down one nerve cell
8. causing it to release the neurotransmitter into a small gap between cells called the synapse.’
9. ‘But a single synapse firing briefly is generally not enough to make the neuron fire an impulse
10. technically termed an action potential
11. of its own.’
12. ‘It's at a synapse that one nerve cell releases chemicals to signal an adjoining nerve cell.’
13. ‘This process allows the vesicles to dock to that part of the membrane where the neurotransmitters are due to be released into the synapse (the active zone).’
14. ‘In general
15. the signal travels across the synapse from the axon of one cell to the dendrite of the next.’
16. ‘The idea is the turn up the volume of neuronal signals that use acetylcholine as a transmitter molecule
17. by inhibiting the enzyme that would break it down and sweep it out of the synapse.’
18. ‘Various glutamate receptors have been shown to redistribute away from the synapse within as little as 5 minutes under certain stimuli.’
19. ‘When the spike reaches the synaptic terminals it causes neurotransmitters to be released into the synapse where they then flow to post-synaptic neurons.’
20. ‘Much of this activity goes on at the synapse
21. or the regions where two neurons come into contact.’
22. ‘In depressed people
23. too much serotonin is reabsorbed in the receiving neuron after crossing the synapse
24. the gap between neurons.’
25. ‘There
26. electrical impulses propel vesicles into the cell wall to spray the neurotransmitter into the synapse.’
27. ‘It codes for the protein in neurons that recycles secreted serotonin from the synapse.’
28. ‘The synapse is the probable arena where general anesthetics depress neuronal function.’
29. ‘Once the genes were turned on
30. certain proteins would be released
31. which reshaped the end of the nerve cell or synapse and changed how it functioned for a lengthy period of time.’
32. ‘He found that learning occurs at the synapse (the junction between two neurons) by several means.’
33. ‘This results in a greater quantity of a particular neurotransmitter remaining in the synapse.’
34. ‘In the case of motor neurons
35. the axon terminal finds the site of the original synapse on the muscle cell by recognizing the basal lamina that fills the synaptic cleft.’
