Planteome: Term Details for "asymmetric synapse" (GO:0032279)

Accession: GO:0032279
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
