It allows neuronal development in response to novel experiences.

Yes, there are two main types of synaptic plasticity: long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). LTP strengthens synaptic connections, while LTD weakens them. These processes play a crucial role in learning and memory formation in the brain.

neuromodulatory lipids and receptors involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, motor learning, synaptic plasticity, and memory.

Learning and memory involve changes in synaptic strength and connectivity between neurons, known as synaptic plasticity. This may include long-term potentiation (LTP), which strengthens synapses, and long-term depression (LTD), which weakens synapses. These changes in synaptic transmission are thought to underlie the formation and storage of memories in the brain.

NMDA receptors are located in the brain, specifically on the surface of neurons. They play a crucial role in controlling synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Additionally, NMDA receptors are involved in regulating synaptic transmission and are important for learning and memory processes.

This phrase from Donald Hebb's theory of synaptic plasticity suggests that when two neurons are activated at the same time, the connection between them strengthens. This concept implies that repeated co-activation of neurons strengthens their synaptic connection, leading to more efficient communication in the brain.

Magnesium is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons. Magnesium can affect synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release, similar to calcium.

Syboxin is a novel investigational drug being developed for the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those associated with synaptic dysfunction. It acts as a selective modulator of specific signaling pathways, aiming to enhance synaptic plasticity and improve cognitive function. Research is ongoing to fully understand its efficacy and safety profile in clinical settings.

Behavioral plasticity refers to an organism's ability to alter its behavior in response to changes in its environment or internal state. This flexibility allows animals to adapt to variable conditions such as food availability or predator presence. Behavioral plasticity is important for survival and reproduction in changing environments.

The brain performs memory function through a process involving the formation of new connections between neurons, known as synaptic plasticity. These connections store memories as changes in the strength of synaptic connections, allowing for the encoding, storage, and retrieval of memories. Neurotransmitters and proteins play a crucial role in this process by facilitating communication between neurons and strengthening or weakening synaptic connections.

The sack-like structures inside the synaptic knob containing chemicals are called synaptic vesicles. These vesicles store and release neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. When an action potential reaches the synaptic knob, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters from the synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft.

The small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons is called the synaptic cleft. This cleft allows for the transmission of chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic neuron to occur. The neurotransmitters are released by the pre-synaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to transmit the signal.

Synapses are specialized junctions between two neurons where communication occurs via neurotransmitters. They play a crucial role in transmitting electrical or chemical signals in the nervous system. Synaptic strength can be modified through processes like long-term potentiation or depression, affecting overall neuronal communication and plasticity.

The NMDA channel allows calcium and sodium ions to enter the nerve cell in response to glutamate binding. These ions play key roles in neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity.

Yes

Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.

Plasticity means the ability to be shaped and molded.

A plastic which will soften when heated and harden when cooled.

synaptic cleft, where neurotransmitters are released by the synaptic terminal and bind to receptors on the muscle fiber to trigger a muscle contraction.

Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between neurons. Factors that influence plasticity include age (plasticity decreases with age), environmental enrichment (such as learning new skills or engaging in stimulating activities), physical exercise, nutrition, and certain experiences or stimuli. Additionally, genetic variations can also play a role in determining an individual's level of brain plasticity.

No they do not.

Calcium ions enter the presynaptic neuron resulting in the release of neurotransmitter from the per-synaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft, fusing with the receptors of the post-synaptic membrane. This changes the sodium channels to open and sodium ions will to flow into the post-synaptic neuron, depolarizing the post-synaptic membrane. This initiates an action potential. After the post-synaptic neuron has been affected, the neurotransmitter is removed by a type of enzyme called cholinesterase. The inactivated neurotransmitter then returns to the pre-synaptic neuron.

The word synaptic is an adjective which means, pertaining to the synapses. So, I could describe dopamine as a chemical that has a synaptic function, as a neurotransmitter.

The synaptic delay is caused by the process of neurotransmitter release, diffusion across the synaptic cleft, binding to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, and the propagation of the electrical signal through the post-synaptic cell. This series of events takes time to occur, leading to the delay in signal transmission across the synapse.

plasticity describes the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces.

The tiny sacs are called synaptic vesicles. They contain neurotransmitters that are released into the synapse in response to an action potential arriving at the terminal button.

Chemicals that bridge the synaptic gap are called neurotransmitters.

Synaptic capacity refers to the maximum number of synaptic connections that can be formed between neurons in the brain. It is a measure of the brain's ability to adapt, learn, and store information. Increases in synaptic capacity are associated with learning and memory formation.

Brain plasticity is also known as neuroplasticity. It is the ability of the brain to modify itself by forming neural connections.

Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of neurons. They store and release neurotransmitters during synaptic transmission in order to pass signals to other neurons or target cells.

Plasticity is a physical property, as it relates to the ability of a material to deform under stress without breaking. It is not a chemical property that involves changes in the chemical composition of a substance.

No, dead neurons in the cortex are not typically replaced by new neurons. The brain has limited capacity for neurogenesis, especially in the cortex. Dead neurons are usually not replaced, but the brain can adapt and reorganize to compensate for lost function through processes like synaptic plasticity.

Chemically Gated Channels.

Calcium ions enter the synaptic bulb in response to an action potential arriving at the presynaptic terminal. Voltage-gated calcium channels open in the presynaptic membrane, allowing calcium to flow into the cell. The increase in calcium concentration triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
