Cerebral cortex synapses transmit signals more reliably than those in rear brain regions
The underlying mechanism is well known: put simply, synaptic signal transmission is triggered when calcium ions in the sender neuron bind to specific sensor proteins, which causes messengers—known as ...
Low-dose ephedrine disrupts synaptic signaling and behavior in adult zebrafish. Schematic overview of the experimental design, key neurotoxic mechanisms, and functional outcomes following chronic ...
Researchers used positron emission tomography, or PET, brain imaging on 32 people with AUD and 29 controls. They found 11% ...
In a rat model of chronic heart failure, Xijiaqi Formula improved cardiac indices and rescued learning/memory deficits while suppressing glial activation and enhancing synaptic plasticity markers via ...
The screen worked, flagging expected cancer genes. But it also kept returning something that seemed impossible: genes for synapses, glutamate receptors, and neural signaling pathways. “We absolutely ...
A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites - not a shared site - to achieve different types of ...
