Converse of object

• cross: Pain fibers produce substance P, in order for the pain signal to cross the nerve synapse.

• call: Here, the neuron terminal forms fine branches, which make a network of close contacts, called synapses, with other neurons.

• form: These neurons form synapses with properties indistinguishable to primary cultured mouse neurons.

• have: Once the brain no longer has excess synapses to play with, it loses much of its plasticity.

• reach: When an action potential reaches the synapse these channels open, causing calcium ions to flow into the cell.

Adjective modifier

• excitatory: Excitatory synapses have positive reversal potentials whilst inhibitory ones have negative reversal potential.

• inhibitory: The rhythm depends on fast inhibitory synapses interconnecting the inhibitory neurons.

• immunological: The binding of the two is very specific and is called an immunological synapse.

• electrical: Main areas of research interests are broadly three-fold and relate to: Neuronal electrical synapses in health and disease.

• silent: After injury many of these silent synapses become active, leading to a readjustment of CNS function.

• new: Undamaged axons can sprout to make new synapses to fill these vacated sites.

Modifies a noun

• elimination: The outcome will indicate whether Wld s mice constitute an effective model in which to study cellular and molecular mechanisms of synapse elimination.

• formation: In addition, live imaging is used to study the dynamics of dendrite morphogenesis and synapse formation.

• function: The term " synaptic plasticity " refers to the ability to maintain or improve synapse function.

• form: His electrophysiological studies aim to determine the mechanisms by which new synapses form.

Noun used with modifier

• nerve: Explain nerve to nerve synapses, during a specific body movement.

Preposition: in

• brain: Each pad is also connected to many others, like branches on a tree ( or synapses in the brain ).

• system: Crucial to this process is a protein called the NMDA receptor, which sits at synapses in the central nervous system.

Preposition: with

• neuron: Running up the spiral is row of exquisitely sensitive ' hair cells ' which synapse with the neurones of the cochlear nerve.

• cell: Motor neurones also form specialized synapses with secretory cells.
