The neurotransmitter glutamate is essential for regulating everything from mood to memory, but it can also encourage a toxic buildup of the notorious tau protein, which can contribute to Alzheimer ...

Overall, these findings underscore the importance of continuing to investigate the extent and behavioral significance of drug-induced neurotransmitter plasticity ... in a rearrangement of VGLUT3 ...

The focus of our research is the study of synaptic transmission, with the emphasis on presynaptic mechanisms. At the synapse, neurotransmitter is rapidly released from small vesicles which are ...

However, recent studies reveal that neurotransmitters can exhibit interactions that extend beyond their traditional targets, leading to a phenomenon called neurotransmitter-receptor crosstalk.

The size of the active zone and maximal Ca 2+ influx correlate with the size of the synaptic ribbon Male and female zebrafish (Danio rerio; 16 ∼20 months) were raised under a 14 h light/10 h dark ...
