Figure 1: Ultrastructural localization of nAChRs, GlyRs and gephyrin at discrete postsynaptic membrane microdomains under the calyx-type presynaptic terminal on E15–17 chick ciliary neurons in vivo.

Traditionally, we have viewed neurotransmitter release as being strictly confined to presynaptic active zones and postsynaptic densities. New work by Coggan, Bartol and colleagues, using a combination ...

Researchers have constructed a new detailed map of the three-dimensional terrain of a synapse -- the junction between neurons which are critical for communication in the brain and nervous system. The ...
