Computational Neuroscience
Synaptic vesicles are small, membrane-bound sacs found in the presynaptic terminals of neurons that store neurotransmitters. These vesicles play a critical role in the communication between neurons by releasing their contents into the synaptic cleft during synaptic transmission, which can lead to changes in the postsynaptic neuron, contributing to both synaptic plasticity and information processing.
congrats on reading the definition of synaptic vesicles. now let's actually learn it.
