Recent studies suggest that transmitter molecules released at central synapses sometimes diffuse long enough distances to activate receptors located outside the synaptic cleft or even in neighboring synapses. This transmitter 'spillover' may have important physiological consequences.
最近的研究表明,在中枢突触释放的递质分子有时会扩散足够长的距离,以激活位于突触间隙之外甚至相邻突触中的受体。这种递质“溢出”可能会产生重要的生理后果。
