Silent synapses lack

Imagine NMDA receptors are the only receptors on a post-synaptic terminal. Glutamate release would cause a depolarization in the post-synaptic neuron.

RNA-editing of the GluA2 subunit converts an arginine to a glutamine.  This allows the AMPA receptor to pass Ca2+.

Which of the following proteins is correctly matched to its function in the life cycle of synaptic vesicles?

Assume that synapses spontaneously release vesicles at a constant rate. If you record mEPSPs from two different cells and cell A has a higher amplitude of mEPSPs than cell B, what is it possible to conclude?

Endocannabinoids are

Which of the following is TRUE of Ca2+ signaling?

You are designing an experiment to correlate the number of quanta released and the number of synaptic vesicles fusing following stimulation of a motor neuron axon that innervates a muscle fiber. How could you INCREASE the probability of vesicle release?

Which of the following statements is FALSE  about electrical synapses?

Which of the following proteins binds Ca2+ ?
