They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

Activation of a small fraction of the tens of thousands of excitatory synapses on a pyramidal neuron can probably evoke dendritic spikes, but these events do not always propagate to the soma and ...
