This study presents a valuable finding on the molecular mechanisms that govern GABAergic inhibitory synapse function. The authors propose that Endophilin A1 serves as a novel regulator of GABAergic ...

A research team from the University of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete ...

By Alain Cappy, Professor Emeritus of Electronics, University of Lille The brain remains the king of computers. The most ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...

Synaptic efficacy is a basic concept in neuroscience for which we have an intuitive definition — the capacity of a presynaptic input to influence postsynaptic output. Similarly, we have an ...

Ever been caught in the crossfire of a wet dog firing droplets of water away from their fur with a mad shake? Well, they can't help it. Scientists have discovered the underlying mechanism that drives ...

A new study links hundreds of brain proteins to differences in how brain regions communicate, revealing how microscale ...

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 ...

This manuscript introduces DendroTweaks, a useful web application and Python library that, compared to existing modeling tools, eases interactive graphical exploration, development, and validation of ...

A long-standing goal of neuroscience is to understand how molecules and cellular structures on a microscale give rise to communication between brain regions at the macroscale.
