Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic ... neuron are heavily enriched in specialized membrane structures that are directly apposed to the glutamate ...

Our research is focused on molecular and supramolecular structures that facilitate communication between neurons at the chemical synapse and how such structures are perturbed in neurological disease.

Unlike other cellular sub-structures (for example, the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum), the synapse does ...

The conditions are controlled in two ways with chemical and nervous responses. A bundle of neurones is called a nerve. There are three main types of neurone: sensory, motor and relay. They have ...
