asymmetric synapse |
An 'asymmetric synapse' is characterized by rounded vesicles in the presynaptic cell and a prominent postsynaptic density. Asymmetric synapses are typically excitatory. |

axon |
An 'axon' is the long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals which are the site of storage and release of neurotransmitter (Gene Ontology). |

dendrite |
A 'dendrite' is a branching protoplasmic process of a neuron that receives and integrates signals coming from axons of other neurons, and conveys the resulting signal to the body of the cell (Gene Ontology). |

dendritic spine |
A 'dendritic spine' is a protrusion from a dendrite. Spines are specialised subcellular compartments involved in the synaptic transmission. |

mitochondrion |
A 'mitochondrion' is a semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration (Gene Ontology). |

neurite |
A 'neurite' is a small neuronal process on developing neurons that ultimately grow out into axons or dendrites under the control of growth stimulating or inhibiting factors from their direct extracellular environment. |

neurofilament |
A 'neurofilament' is a type of intermediate filament found in the core of neuronal axons. Neurofilaments are responsible for the radial growth of an axon and determine axonal diameter. |

symmetric synapse |
A 'symmetric synapse' has flattened or elongated vesicles, and does not contain a prominent postsynaptic density. Symmetric synapses are typically inhibitory. |

synaptic protein |
A 'synaptic protein' belongs to a family of neuron-specific phosphoric proteins associated with synaptic vesicles. Synaptic proteins are present on the surface of almost all synaptic particles and bind to the cytoskeleton. |

synaptic vesicle |
A 'synaptic vesicle' is a secretory organelle (~ 50 nm in diameter) released from the pre-synaptic nerve terminal. It accumulates high concentrations of neurotransmitters and secretes these into the synaptic cleft by fusion with the 'active zone' of the pre-synaptic plasma membrane (modified from Gene Ontology). |
