How can you use “synapse” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Since dendrites are the primary site of synapse formation, we felt it was important to examine this possibility.

  • The parasympathetic innervation arises from preganglionic neurons located in the distal lumbar and proximal sacral spinal cord (segments L6 and S1 in the rat [ 6 7 ] ) and whose axons are found in the pelvic nerve and synapse on postganglionic neurons in the pelvic plexus.

  • PKC has been suggested to play a role in synapse stability and signal transduction at the NMJ [ 24 ] . When calcium influx through the nAChR occurs, acetylcholine appears to activate PKC phosphorylation of this receptor [reviewed by [ 31 ] ]. Phorbol ester activation of PKC causes loss of synapses and nAChR [ 49 ] . Because the presynaptic PKCβ fluorescence band parallels the nAChR band (see fig.

  • Nervous innervation of the prostate is believed to be mainly sympathetic [ 2 ] . These nerves descend through the hypogastric nerves and synapse on postganglionic neurons in the pelvic plexus (major pelvic ganglion in the rat) from which the prostate receives direct innervation.

  • Deletion of the 13q region is associated with human 13q syndrome, a developmental disorder [ 24 ] .

The glypican1 gene has been suggested to be a good candidate for brachydactyly type E [ 31 ] . Given that, GPC5 is highly expressed in brain and mutations in other genes of the glypican families are associated with developmental disorder; GPC5 could be a potential candidate gene for Bipolar disorder.
