How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

However, this refilling rate had not been studied in inhibitory synapses. Prof. Takahashi and colleagues used glass electrodes to simultaneously take recordings from the pre-synaptic terminal and ...

There are two main modalities of synaptic transmission: chemical and electrical. Although chemical synapses are perceived to be structurally more complex and functionally dynamic than electrical ...

Information flows in a well-defined direction in the brain: Chemical and electrical ... at work in this synapse, Okamoto precisely stimulated the pre-synaptic terminal of the mossy fiber synapse ...

Synaptic pruning is the process in which ... with one another using a combination of electrical and chemical signals. Synapses are the places where these neurons connect in order to function.

A biological synapse transforms a voltage spike (action potential) arriving from a pre-synaptic neuron into a discharge of chemical neurotransmitters that are then detected by a post-synaptic neuron.

it has to somehow get across the synapse. This happens in a series of three main steps. First, chemical neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, or gap. These bind to receptors on ...

Tau aggregates appear inside synapses from human brain samples with Aβ pathology. The method can be adapted to study other synaptic proteins. As reported in Cell Chemical Biology on January 23, first ...

These results enable the design of new synaptic connectors using specific combinations of kainate receptor subunits and offer ...

However, this refilling rate had not been studied in inhibitory synapses. Prof. Takahashi and colleagues used glass electrodes to simultaneously take recordings from the pre-synaptic terminal and ...
