Properties of central and sensory synapses
| Glutamate | Glycine | Sensory | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reversal potential (mV) | 0 | −80 | 0 |
| Peak conductance (nS) | 0.5 | 10 | 15 |
| Opening time constant (ms) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Closing time constant (ms) | 75 | 6.5 | 75 |
| Probability of synapse | 0.3 | 0.2 | 1 |
When an axon reached or passed a neuron, synapses are made with probabilities given.
