Dopamine release, diffusion and uptake: A computational model for synaptic and volume transmission
Fig 7
A) Tonic (large-scale) and synaptic (small-scale) model. The tonic model contains more than 13000 finite elements that are associated with synaptic and non-synaptic terminals. For non-synaptic terminals the whole vesicle content is released into the respective finite element, while synaptic terminals refer to the synaptic model. B) DA diffusion from a synaptic terminal. Concentration 0.1 ms after release.
