Synaptic Mechanotransduction

Synaptic Mechanotransduction is a biological process in which mechanical forces are converted into biochemical and electrical signals at synapses, thereby modulating synaptic function and plasticity through force-sensitive molecular components embedded within pre- and post-synaptic structures.
