A Phenomenological Synapse Model for Asynchronous Neurotransmitter Release

A Phenomenological Synapse Model for Asynchronous Neurotransmitter Release

Neurons communicate with each other via synapses. Action potentials cause release ofneurotransmitters at the axon terminal. Typically, this neurotransmitter release is tightly time-locked to the arrival of an action potential and is thus called synchronous release. However,neurotransmitter release i...
