  • Nervous System
CONT

In most cases, the dopamine-releasing cells make symmetric contact with the spines - that is, the cell projections on either side of the synaptic cleft show roughly the same density. Such symmetric contacts are thought to have an inhibitory effect.

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
CONT

Généralement les cellules qui libèrent la dopamine forment des synapses symétriques avec les épines dendritiques : de part et d'autre de l'espace synaptique, les projections cellulaires ont une densité analogue. On pense que ces synapses ont un effet inhibiteur.
