An Electronic Circuit Model of the Interpostsynaptic Functional LINK Designed to Study the Formation of Internal Sensations in the Nervous System

Figure 3

Hypothesized formation of a reversible, yet stabilizable, interpostsynaptic functional LINK during associative learning. The simultaneous arrival of activity at the synapses [A-B] and [C-D] induces a reversible functional LINK between their postsynapses B and D. The mechanism of functional LINK formation may include interpostsynaptic membrane hemifusion, ephaptic transmission between the postsynaptic terminals, and still unknown mechanisms.
