摘要: Ion channels are microscopic pore proteins in the membrane that open and close response to chemical electrical stimuli. This simple concept underlies rapid signaling brain as well several important aspects of neural plasticity. Although soma accounts for less than 1% many neurons by area, it has been major site measuring ion channel function. However, axon is one longest processes found cellular biology hosts a multitude critical functions brain. Not only does initiate rapidly propagate action potentials (APs) across but also forms presynaptic terminals convert these inputs into outputs. Here, we review recent advances physiological role within diverse landscape terminals.
