The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron
nerve terminal and its muscle fiber that are responsible for converting electrical impulses …

Synapses, the fundamental unit in neuronal circuits, are critical for learning and memory,
perception, thinking, and reaction. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse formed …

Synapses, as fundamental units of the neural circuitry, enable complex behaviors. The
neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse type that forms between motoneurons and …

Synapses are specialized cell–cell contacts that mediate communication between neurons.
Most excitatory synapses in the brain are housed on dendritic spines, small actin-rich …

The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a peripheral synapse formed between
motoneuron and skeletal muscle, is characterized by a protracted postnatal period of …

In biology, homeostasis refers to how cells maintain appropriate levels of activity. This
concept underlies a balancing act in the nervous system. Synapses require flexibility (ie …

The cell signaling factors EGFR, EphA2, and Ephexin1 are associated with lung and
