Difference between Chemical synapse and Substantia nigra

Chemical synapse vs. Substantia nigra

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. The substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that plays an important role in reward and movement.

Similarities between Chemical synapse and Substantia nigra

Chemical synapse and Substantia nigra have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Cocaine, Dopamine, Endocytosis, Gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Hippocampus, Mitochondrion, Neuron, Phosphorylation.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Cocaine

Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant mostly used as a recreational drug.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

Endocytosis

Endocytosis is a form of bulk transport in which a cell transports molecules (such as proteins) into the cell (endo- + cytosis) by engulfing them in an energy-using process.

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid

gamma-Aminobutyric acid, or γ-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system.

Hippocampus

The hippocampus (named after its resemblance to the seahorse, from the Greek ἱππόκαμπος, "seahorse" from ἵππος hippos, "horse" and κάμπος kampos, "sea monster") is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Phosphorylation

In chemistry, phosphorylation of a molecule is the attachment of a phosphoryl group.

Chemical synapse and Substantia nigra Comparison

Chemical synapse has 104 relations, while Substantia nigra has 90. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 4.64% = 9 / (104 + 90).
