We found that an unusually high number of genes affected by these DNA deletions / duplications are associated with the functioning of
synaptic transmission between nerve cells.
A healthy optic nerve has axons transmitting information from the eye to the brain along the nerve after considerable information processing and
synaptic transmission between various cell types within the retina.
Consistent with recent studies of such changes, we find that long - lasting potentiation of
synaptic transmission between cultured hippocampal neurons is accompanied by an increase in the number of clusters of postsynaptic glutamate receptors containing the subunit GluR1.
