Early evolution of the human synapse: Identification of conserved elements of the protosynapse in prokaryotes.

The animal nervous system processes information from the environment and mediates learning and memory using molecular signaling pathways in the postsynaptic terminal of synapses. Postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors assemble to form multiprotein complexes that drive signal transduction pathways t...
