... of the other TrkB ligand, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), did not affect the normal course of the MyHC isoform transformation in this muscle, indicating that the observed effect is NT-4/5 specific. Botulinum toxin blockade of synaptic transmission significantly disrupted the normal fast-to-slow MyHC...

... conditions, they remove glutamate from the extracellular space and thereby help to terminate glutamatergic synaptic transmission and to prevent the extracellular glutamate concentration from rising to neurotoxic values. Glutamate transport on these carriers is thought to be driven by the cotransport of Na...

...J. Goldberg; W. Colmers; J. Edstrom; K.

In the semi-intact preparation...

...Robert M. Pitman ABSTRACT ‘Typically’ chemical synaptic transmission takes place when an influx of calcium ions during a presynaptic nerve impulse triggers exocytosis of neurotransmitter substance from synaptic vesicles. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and occupies receptors...
