Multi-epitope immunopurifications of huntingtin (HTT) from vulnerable brain regions of Huntington’s disease (HD) models ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

A fluorescent probe designed to incorporate a fluorophore into the structure of a neurotransmitter finds activity-dependent heterogeneity in dopamine release at individual synapses ...

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

In addition to these neurotransmitters, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which was named the stress hormone, can simulate norepinephrine (NE) synthesis, dopamine and 5-HT. CRH release also ...

Endorphins are neurotransmitters your body releases in response to pain and stress. These chemical messengers produced in the brain are also responsible for the pleasure and well-being we experience ...
