Characterization and extraction of the synaptic apposition surface for synaptic geometry analysis.
Geometrical features of chemical synapses are relevant to their function. Two critical components of the synaptic junction are the active zone and the postsynaptic density, as they are related to the probability of synaptic release and the number of postsynaptic receptors, respectively. Morphologica...
