Found on presynaptic axon terminals in some GABAergic neurons in the somatosensory cortex (By similarity).

Uptake of D - aspartate and L - glutamate in excitatory axon terminals in hippocampus: autoradiographic and biochemical comparison with gamma - aminobutyrate and other amino acids in normal rats and in rats with lesions

Taxt T, Storm - Mathisen J (1984) Uptake of D - aspartate and L - glutamate in excitatory axon terminals in hippocampus: autoradiographic and biochemical comparison with gamma - aminobutyrate and other amino acids in normal rats and in rats with lesions Neuroscience, 11 (1), 79 - 100 PubMed 6143283

Presumably, dopamine is released at the neuron's axon terminal in the orbitofrontal cortex where it updates the identity information.

The chemical is released from one axon terminal and crosses the gap (called a synapse) where it bonds to the receptor site and triggers an electric impulse in the second nerve.

Not exact matches

In the late 1960s, Katz determined that the amount of acetylcholine in a vesicle was related to the electrical potential at the terminal of an axon — the long extension of a neuron that transmits the impulse.

Unexpectedly, the team discovered a thick band of microtubules, a component of the cell's cytoskeleton, that extended from the axon of the neuron into the synaptic terminal and then looped around the interior periphery of the terminal.

When the researchers administered drugs to inhibit the movement of certain «motor» proteins that transport mitochondria and other cargo within the cell by traveling along microtubules, the mitochondria accumulated in the axon of the neuron and never made it to the synaptic terminal.

Studies conducted by Hendry at the Australian National University and by K. Stockel and H. Thoenen at the Basel Institute for Immunology have demonstrated that NGF is taken up at the terminal nerve endings of the sympathetic fibers and transported back to the neuronal cell body along the axon.

LKB1 - NUAK1 kinase pathway regulates terminal axon branching through mitochondrial trafficking.

PlexinA1 is a new Slit receptor and mediates axon guidance function of Slit C - terminal fragments.

When a nerve cell is activated, it sends an electrical impulse down its axon to the terminal, which stimulates a vesicle within the terminal to migrate to the terminal's surrounding membrane.

Axons are the threadlike parts of the neurons that run down from the head of the cells to the terminals at their ends.

However some technical challenges still need to be taken to make the technology more accessible and usable to its full potential: gaining selective and comprehensive genetic access to the neurons of interest, controlling variation in the expression of the optogenetic tools (when using viruses) and its precise localization (axon vs. presynaptic terminals), tailoring light - delivery system signals to individual cells in a population rather than the population as a whole, developing observation techniques which have the same spatial and temporal resolution as those tools... to cite only a few of them.
