Sentence Examples
In this case, spillover is limited to the postsynaptic sites under a single synaptic bouton, and occupancy is likely to vary across sites.
When postsynaptic receptors are saturated, a quantum of synaptic current corresponds to the response evoked in a single synaptic bouton.
When it is of the postsynaptic type, the local potential usually begins in the dendrites and spreads toward the soma and axon.
The EEG registers brain waves, or more specifically, the cortical electrical activity that results from a summation of postsynaptic potential.
In order to bring normal balance between excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potential, antiseizure drugs may use one or more of the following mechanisms.
