SnapShot: receptor dynamics at plastic synapses

Related Research units

Abstract

The dynamic synapse is represented by the constant mobility and exchange of components at both the cell surface and at intracellular sites. This includes thermally powered Brownian diffusion movement, followed by reversible trapping through receptor-scaffold interactions and active transport of cargo vesicles through cytoskeletal motors.
