________________ synapses can alter the amount of neurotransmitter released across the synaptic cleft to the dendrite of a downstream neuron.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axoaxonic synapses are unique because they can modulate the amount of neurotransmitter released from the axon terminal of one neuron to the dendrite of another by acting directly on the initial neuron's axon terminal. This modulation can either increase or decrease neurotransmitter release, thereby influencing the strength of the synaptic transmission.
