Post-synaptic Membranes

Post-synaptic membranes are layers of protein and fat molecules found on the ends of nerve cells that interact with the signals sent by another nerve cell. These membranes are key to the functioning of the nervous system, as they are responsible for the reception, transmission and integration of chemical signals received by the nerve cells. They play a major role in helping to regulate the body's responses to external stimuli and to maintain homeostasis. Post-synaptic membranes also have an important role in some diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other forms of dementia. They are also integral to the development of neuronal pathways, which are the pathways of communication between neurons that are essential for learning, memory and other cognitive functions.
