Chapter 11.6, Problem 54AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
An example of presynaptic inhibition and the meaning of presynaptic facilitation.
Introduction:
Synapse is known as the neuronal junction that is present between the two neurons, or between a neuron and gland or muscle cell. It consists of a presynaptic terminal, synaptic cleft, and postsynaptic membrane.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice.
