Will a novel method that precisely labels each synapse help? A diagram of the barcoded RNAs, linkers, and pre- and post-synaptic proteins at a synapse. Credit: Justus Kebschull Identifying the ...

While it has often been suggested1–3 that these “synaptic vesicles” contain transmitter molecules discharged into the intercellular gap between pre- and post-synaptic surfaces when ...

The neuron becomes pre and post synaptic at the same time. "Such a controlled neuronal system allows us studying in vitro glial factors individually," says Llobet.

Thanks to a new method, it is now possible to study isolated pairs of neurons under controlled conditions and analyze pre- and postsynaptic effects of wild-type and/or genetically modified synapses in ...

Emotional arousal triggers activation of the locus coeruleus and the subsequent release of norepinephrine, which induces both pre- and post-synaptic adrenergic receptors at central synapses.

To & Fro But the goodies this method offers don’t stop there, as Prof. Obermair explains: “Both cells of the cultured paired network can function as stimulated, i.e., presynaptic, and innervated, i.e.
