What do creativity and social bonds have to do with one another? The brain opioid theory helps us understand how creativity ...

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.

Neurotransmitters are biological molecules that are secreted by neurons and that alter the behaviour of their target neurons or effector cells. The authors uncover slow, facilitating inhibitory ...

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.

These were some of the questions that were addressed during the annual Synapse Conclave in the capital last month, where over 40 speakers, including Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize-winning ...
