Target type: biologicalprocess
The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form an inhibitory synapse. [GO_REF:0000079, GOC:bf, GOC:PARL, GOC:TermGenie]
Inhibitory synapse assembly is a complex and highly regulated process that involves the coordinated action of multiple cellular components. It begins with the initial recognition and interaction between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons. This interaction is mediated by cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), such as neurexins and neuroligins, which are expressed on the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes, respectively. These CAMs bind to each other, bringing the two neurons into close proximity.
Once the pre- and postsynaptic membranes are closely apposed, the presynaptic neuron begins to assemble its machinery for neurotransmitter release. This includes the clustering of synaptic vesicles containing the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, as well as the formation of active zones, specialized regions of the presynaptic membrane where neurotransmitter release occurs.
Concurrently, the postsynaptic neuron assembles its machinery for receiving and responding to the inhibitory signal. This involves the clustering of GABA receptors, which bind to GABA released from the presynaptic terminal, and the recruitment of scaffolding proteins that help to organize and stabilize the postsynaptic structure.
In addition to the core components of the synapse, inhibitory synapse assembly is also influenced by a variety of other factors, including:
* **Activity:** Neural activity plays a crucial role in shaping inhibitory synapse development. For example, the pattern of neuronal firing can influence the number and strength of inhibitory synapses formed.
* **Glial cells:** Astrocytes, a type of glial cell, are essential for the proper formation and function of inhibitory synapses. They provide support and trophic factors to neurons, and they can also regulate the release and uptake of GABA.
* **Extracellular matrix:** The extracellular matrix, a network of proteins and other molecules that surrounds neurons, also plays a role in inhibitory synapse assembly. It can influence the adhesion of neurons, the clustering of synaptic components, and the overall structure of the synapse.
In summary, inhibitory synapse assembly is a dynamic process that requires the coordinated action of multiple cellular components. The assembly of these synapses is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and for the regulation of neuronal activity.'

It is a local anesthetic and vasoconstrictor and is clinically used for that purpose, particularly in the eye, ear, nose, and throat. It also has powerful central nervous system effects similar to the amphetamines and is a drug of abuse. Cocaine, like amphetamines, acts by multiple mechanisms on brain catecholaminergic neurons; the mechanism of its reinforcing effects is thought to involve inhibition of dopamine uptake. | benzoate ester; methyl ester; tertiary amino compound; tropane alkaloid | adrenergic uptake inhibitor; central nervous system stimulant; dopamine uptake inhibitor; environmental contaminant; local anaesthetic; mouse metabolite; plant metabolite; serotonin uptake inhibitor; sodium channel blocker; sympathomimetic agent; vasoconstrictor agent; xenobiotic |
