Examples
-
These genes are expressed only in a single larval epithelial cell type, known as "flask cells," with other of the pre-synaptic genes differentially expressed in specific subcells of flask cells.
-
Neurotransmitters can also bind to certain receptors on pre-synaptic neurons for regulatory purposes.
Neurotoxicity 2008
-
To treat the depression, SSRIs decrease the ability of the pre-synaptic cell to reuptake the serotonin, leaving the message in the synapse longer and giving the post-synaptic cell a better chance of receiving the serotonin.
-
Pathological release of excess zinc ions from pre-synaptic vesicles has been suggested to mediate cell damage/death to postsynaptic neurons.

-
The serotonin is taken in by the receiving, post-synaptic cell, or be taken back by the pre-synaptic cell.
-
The cell sending the message, called the pre-synaptic cell, releases serotonin into the synapse.
-
It also increases the number of pre-synaptic contact sites, but these sites appear to be missing these key proteins.
-
The serotonin is taken in by the receiving, post-synaptic cell, or be taken back by the pre-synaptic cell.
-
This synaptic transmission involves the accumulation of neurotransmitters in vesicles within the cytoplasm of the pre-synaptic neuron; neurotransmitters are then released when the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane of the cell.

To treat the depression, SSRIs decrease the ability of the pre-synaptic cell to reuptake the serotonin, leaving the message in the synapse longer and giving the post-synaptic cell a better chance of receiving the serotonin.
