The Synapse Diversity and Specificity Regulation Research Team at DGIST has profiled the molecular code that constitutes brain neural circuits and discovered that it regulates specific excitatory ...

Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic spines. These are atypical femtoliter-order microdomains where the behavior of even single molecules may have ...

The ultimate effect of a signal from one neuron on the next neuron depends on the function of the synapse, which is based on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals ...

The neurons are mostly connected by excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Whereas the excitatory synapses transmit a signal, ...

Using eMAP researchers labeled protein components on both the presynaptic side (bassoon) and post-synaptic side (PSD-95) of an excitatory synapse in a mouse. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Defining the degree to which synapses that carry different kinds of information are segregated onto different dendritic domains remains an important challenge. Most excitatory synapses onto ...

Senior author Dr. Minghua Wu from Central South University, China, says, "In this review, we mainly discuss the effects of LRRC4 on memory by promoting the formation of excitatory synapses and ...

The aim of our research is to define the molecular program that underlies both excitatory and inhibitory synapse development with the goal of contributing to a greater understanding of neural circuit ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...
