This chapter discusses what has been learned from various approaches for investigating the functional properties of synapses. It focuses on synapses that use glutamate or γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as a transmitter, as these represent the vast majority of CNS synapses. It examines the evidence that neurotransmitter receptors are heterogeneous, can be differentially distributed through the dendritic tree, are highly dynamic, and contribute to various forms of synaptic scaling.

Keywords:   synapses, γ-aminobutyric acid, neurotransmitter receptors, dendritic tree, synaptic scaling, ion channels
