| When postsynaptic receptors are saturated, a quantum of synaptic current corresponds to the response evoked in a single synaptic bouton. |
| The Torpedo electrocyte model has served to identify the most important components involved in synaptic transmission. |
| Researchers believe these synaptic changes, called long-term potentiation or LTP, are the basis for learning in the brain. |
| Depolarization of the presynaptic membrane causes release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft. |
| But this is not to suggest that Hebb's influence was just his postulates related to synaptic change. |
| Such tendon jerks are tested as part of a routine neurological examination, to assess the state of synaptic connections. |
