Fluctuations in thesynapticcurrentobserved during maintained light steps were analyzed in order to estimate the amplitude of the underlying unitary event.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, differentiated neurons do not exhibit spontaneoussynapticcurrent, providing an opportunity to identify the crucial steps and signaling molecules that regulate synaptogenesis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The question is, how much of thesynapticcurrentvariance is due to channel noise, and how much to vesicle noise?
From theCambridge English Corpus
