The effect of dendritic spine morphology on synaptic crosstalk: Two multisynapse models, integrating diffusion on curved surfaces

Diffusive processes on curved surfaces are highly relevant for cellular processes and are increasingly used to characterize the behavior of proteins in cell membranes. More specifically, neurotransmitter receptors are present on the cell membranes of neurons (nerve cells) and are important for the signal transduction at synapses, which are the...
