Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic ... and because its target glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic neuron are heavily enriched in specialized ...

This study presents a valuable theoretical exploration on the electrophysiological mechanisms of ionic currents via gap junctions in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal-cell models, and their potential ...

They are the most common neuron found in mammalian bodies. Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms ...

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

This study presents useful findings on the differences between male and hermaphrodite C. elegans connectomes and how they may result in changes in locomotory behavioural outputs. However, the study ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

To travel from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron, a signal must cross the gap between neurons (the synapse), where it is translated from an electrical signal to a chemical ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

For the study, researchers focused on how the protein tau disrupts the chemical ... within synapses by using up a type of enzyme called dynamin, a key component in healthy neuron synaptic function.

A new collaboration has unlocked new potential for the field by creating a novel high-performance organic electrochemical neuron that responds ... touch receptors and synapses, which enabled ...

Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite ... transfer across the brain by launching chemical messengers. As we learn, specific synapses strengthen, enabling us to retain new information.
