FIGURE 1. (A) The synaptic cleft is divided into two zones. Diffusion coeffcients were taken different values in two re-gions(inside and outside), which represent slow and fast motion of neurotransmitters released due to different compositions in the synaptic cleft. (B) Top view of synaptic cleft dividing into two parts.
FIGURE 3. (A) 16 NMDA receptors are evenly distributed on the postsynaptic terminal surface (B) Relative discrepancy be-tween Support-Operator and Continuous Velocity models of glutamate concentration over 16 NMDA receptors.
