Nature Chemical Biology - Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single ...

The post-synaptic side of the synapse is now recognized as a site ... which focuses on the cell biology of a number of ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels involved in post-synaptic ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

Boost Neuroscience is a stealth biotech with a proprietary synapse network platform based on the work of Nobel Laureate Dr. Thomas Südhof, M.D.

However, it was previously unclear how the neurons implement these changes in strength across several synapses that are close to each other and active at the same time. Researchers from the ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform ... his work on synaptic transmission and biology. The company, backed by Catalio ...

By studying the synapses through which pyramidal neurons in the brain's sensory cortex communicate, they have learned how the cells preserve their understanding of some of the world's most ...
