Researchers at the Center for Life Sciences at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have for the first time identified structural changes in the botulinum ...

Using cryo-electron tomography, the team was able to visualize synaptic vesicles (SVs) in 3D and confirm a potentially important protein-protein interaction. They also broadened our understanding ...

By immunofluorescence microscopy, neuroligin induced accumulation of the characteristic synaptic vesicle proteins synapsin, synaptotagmin and synaptophysin, as well as the synaptic scaffolding ...

This tracer binds to a protein uniquely located in synaptic vesicles, enabling precise quantification of synapses across different brain regions. To complement the positron emission tomography ...

This was due to the pausing of the synaptic vesicles responsible for transmitting neural signals in their cells. Once the light source was turned off, the nematodes recovered their movement as if the ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ... the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again.
