Cellular communication between neurons within our brain is complex and busy, much like a USPS mailroom.To keep things running ...

Young and his team first confirmed that the proteins play several key roles in ensuring that synaptic vesicles which contain ...

This useful study presents a biologically realistic, large-scale cortical model of the rat's non-barrel somatosensory cortex, investigating synaptic plasticity of excitatory connections under varying ...

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

Following synaptic vesicle exocytosis, synaptotagmin 1 recruits a lipid signalling pathway within the presynaptic plasma membrane that drives local dynamin recruitment and membrane retrieval by ...

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 ...
