Name
asymmetric synapse
Ontology
cellular_component
Synonyms
Gray's type I synapse
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A type of synapse occurring between an axon and a dendritic spine or dendritic shaft. Asymmetric synapses, the most abundant synapse type in the central nervous system, involve axons that contain predominantly spherical vesicles and contain a thickened postsynaptic density. Most or all synapses of this type are excitatory. Source: GOC:ef, GOC:dgh
