an action will happen cause of axo-axonal syanapse,which can facilitate the nerve impulse transmitting from presynaptic membrane to post synaptic membrane.
In the axo-axonal synapse one axon is secreting serotonin which can influence to close some of K+ channels in the other neuron to maintain a prolonged action potential by slowing down the repolarization.
as long as action potential is there it can stimulate the presynaptic membrane to release neurotransmitters towards postsyanptic membrane so prolonged action potential will help to stimulate more the Post synaptic membrane and give a strong impulse this is called presynaptic facilitation
Presynaptic excitation is also known as the spike broadening affect. It usually occurs between axoaxonic synapses. The first axon depolarizes the second axon, resulting in an increase of sodium and a decrease in potassium. Potassium release is inhibited, causing more neurotransmitter to be released, causing the action potential spike to broaden and the will return to resting potential slower than normal.
This is a form of homosynaptic plasticity during which a post-synaptic terminal acquire a short efficacy (represented by increase in excitatory post-synaptic potentials (EPSP)) in its strength due to increase in transmitter release from the presynaptic neuron. Usually, when a neuron fires an action potential, voltage gated calcium channels open, allowing calcium to drive the exocytotic machinery to bring about transmitter release. Now this calcium is removed from the presynaptic terminal. However, in synaptic facilitation, the presynaptic neuron fires many action potentials separated by few msecs, this causes the post-synaptic neuron to temporally summate the EPSP, so that the first EPSP is not as big as the second EPSP. This is because, after the first action potential the calcium that accumulated in the presynaptic terminal was not removed completely before the second action potential, this will now make the second action potential to be able to produce larger transmitter release because the concentration of calcium that will enter the presynaptic terminal and the residual calcium from the first action potential will be larger, and therefore will produce more neurotransmitter release.
Inhibition of a stimulatory neuron before it synapses, by inhibiting Ca2+ entry and blocking downstream processes, preventing neurotransmitter release, and therefore preventing the neuron generating and EPSP post-synaptically.
The theory of social facilitation has been used many times by a number of researchers. The biggest known experiment of social facilitation occurred with Yerkes Dowdson's experiment.
What is the role of synaptic potentials in the perception of pain? What kind of reaction might you expect if synaptic potentials were removed?
synaptic cleft.
The cause of synaptic delay is attributed mainly to the time needed for the synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. While it can be considered a combination of binding to the presynaptic membrane (which is relatively a transient process) and subsequent exocytosis of the neurotransmitter, the main factor is release. Additionally, it does take a very short period of time for the neurotransmitter to diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to to its receptors on the post-synaptic membrane.
"Facilitation" is a noun, not a verb. Therefore it does not have a "past form".

synaptic cleft (also known as "synaptic gap")
The theory of social facilitation has been used many times by a number of researchers. The biggest known experiment of social facilitation occurred with Yerkes Dowdson's experiment.
The nerve signal arrives at a synaptic knob and causes calcium channels to open. This allows the calcium ions to enter the synaptic knob. Calcium ions entry into the synaptic knob triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, which release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.
Yes
Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons.
The tiny sacs in the synaptic knob are known as synaptic vessels. The synaptic vessels release chemicals into the bloodstream with each synapse.
Proactive Facilitation is an increased ability to learn new information based on the presence of previously held information.
