Meanings of excitatory synapses in English

Dynamic excitatory synapses are located at the membranous neuronal protrusions called dendritic spines.

Actin polymerization governs activity-dependent modulation of excitatory synapses, including their morphology and functionality.

Synaptic activity triggers a profound reorganization of the molecular composition of excitatory synapses.

Thus, synapsins are required for maintaining vesicles in the reserve pool at excitatory synapses.

SHANK3 is a ubiquitously expressed scaffolding protein that is enriched in postsynaptic excitatory synapses.

Within the OB, sensory neurons form excitatory synapses with projection neurons and with inhibitory interneurons.

However, we found significant changes in the number of excitatory synapses on limb innervating motor neurons.

Glutamate is the major neurotransmitter of excitatory synapses, executing important physiological functions in the central nervous system.

Instead, the data add further support to the view that the strengthening of existing excitatory synapses underlies LTP.

These results suggest that SAP102 may play an important role in NMDA receptor clustering and immobilization at excitatory synapses.

MMP-9 is present at the excitatory synapses in the CeA with its activity greatly enhanced after the appetitive training.

Dendritic spines are are small membranous protrusions that extend from neuronal dendrites and harbor the majority of excitatory synapses.

The majority of excitatory synapses in the mammalian brain form on filopodia and spines, actin-rich membrane protrusions present on neuronal dendrites.

Whereas the involvement of plastic changes at excitatory synapses is well established, plasticity mechanisms at inhibitory synapses only start to be discovered.

TrkB inactivation counteracted only some of the positive effects exerted by exercise after nerve injury, such as maintenance of excitatory synapses surrounding motoneurons.

Selective control of receptor trafficking provides a mechanism for remodeling the receptor composition of excitatory synapses, and thus supports synaptic transmission, plasticity, and development.
