Axons, the fundamental output structures of neurons, play a pivotal role in transmitting electrical signals over long ...
How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...
They used synapses from the fruit fly drosophila, which compares remarkably closely to synapses in humans. The results showed that two variations of a protein called Unc13 work separately to regulate ...
A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites—not a shared site—to achieve different types of ...
