  2. 11. Studies of membrane-binding proteins involved in synaptic vesicle recycling

    Author : Fredrik Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Signaling between neurons occurs at synapses. A presynaptic nerve terminal releases neurotransmitter, which diffuses over the synaptic cleft, and binds to postsynaptic receptors. Release occurs by fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. READ MORE

  4. 12. Dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation of cellular and locomotor network properties in the lamprey spinal cord

    Author : Martin Wikström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : 5-hydroxytryptamine; Dopamine; Calcium channels; Calcium-dependent potassium channels; Afterhyperpolarization; Membrane potential oscillation; Synaptic transmission; Modulation; Central pattern generator; Locomotion; Spinal cord; Lamprey;

    Abstract : Motor activity is the basis for all behavior. It is therefore important to study the processes generating movement such as the neuronal networks in the spinal cord that generates and controls locomotion. The lamprey is used as a model system for the study of locomotion. READ MORE

  5. 13. Molecular mechanisms in synaptic vesicle recycling

    Author : Joel Jakobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neurons communicate through specialized contacts called synapses, which consist of pre- and postsynaptic compartments separated by a narrow synaptic cleft. The stimulus- dependent rapid influx of calcium ions into the presynaptic compartment induces fusion of neurotransmitter-filled vesicles with the plasma membrane and release of their content into the synaptic cleft.

  6. 14. Synaptic vesicle endocytosis studied in a living synapse

    Author : Helge Gad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : synapse; synaptic vesicles; endocytosis; clathrin; calcium; dynamin; endophilin; amphiphysin; synaptojanin; microinjection; electron microscopy;

    Abstract : Neurons in the central nervous system communicate by transmitting electrical signals at special sites of contact called synapses. Synapses contain neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicles, which fuse with the presynaptic plasma membrane. The neurotransmitter diffuses to the neighboring neuron and triggers a new electrical signal. READ MORE
