More information: FAM81A is a postsynaptic protein that regulates the condensation of postsynaptic proteins via liquid-liquid ...

The FDA is poised to issue a decision soon on KarXT, a potential first-in-class antipsychotic for schizophrenia. What should ...

One of the things that makes brains so incredibly difficult to understand is their ability to adjust and adapt. Our learning ...

This study focused on how NMDAR, an important cell surface receptor, triggers a complex chemical cascade in postsynaptic neurons in the nucleus accumbens region of the brain. More specifically, the ...

Neurons are cells that transmit information between your brain and other parts of the central nervous system. Synapses are ...

A review highlighting recent advances in genetically encoded fluorescent tools for labeling and selectively manipulating ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the ...

To address the unmet need for a cure for RTT, the therapeutic potential of adult Neural Precursor Cells (NPCs) was ...

This valuable work analyzes how specialized cells in the auditory cells, known as the octopus cells, can detect coincidences in their inputs at the submillisecond time scale. While previous work ...

However, the cellular mechanisms by which MC4R regulates reproduction are unknown. Kiss1 neurons directly stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release through two distinct populations; the ...
