Any process that increases the extent of synaptic maturation as a result of the communication from a pre-synaptic cell to a post-synaptic cell across a synapse. The entirety of a process whereby information is transmitted. This process begins with the initiation of the signal and ends when a response has been triggered. Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. Any process that modulates the physical form or the activity of a synapse, the junction between a neuron and a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell). The process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. The process whereby a signal is released and/or conveyed from one location to another. Any process that modulates the frequency or rate of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Any process that modulates the establishment or extent of the postsynaptic membrane potential, which is generated by changes in the membrane potential of the post synaptic neuron that receives information at a synapse. The presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft which bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. After being bound by the neurotransmitters, these receptors can open or close an ion channel, allowing ions to enter or leave the cell and therefore altering the membrane potential of the postsynaptic neuron. The chemical reactions and pathways involving neurotransmitter receptors. The process of communication from a neuron to a muscle, across a synapse. The neurological system process by which a signal is transmitted through the nervous system by synaptic transmission and the sequential electrochemical polarization and depolarization that travels across the membrane of a nerve cell (neuron) in response to stimulation. The process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse using the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The process of communication from a neuron to another neuron across a synapse. Any process that mediates interactions between a cell and its surroundings. Encompasses interactions such as signaling or attachment between one cell and another cell, between a cell and an extracellular matrix, or between a cell and any other aspect of its environment. Any process that modulates levels of neurotransmitter. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of neurological system.
