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 ...

Chemical synapses are complex structures that mediate rapid intercellular signalling in the nervous system. Proteomic studies suggest that several hundred proteins will be found at synaptic ...

"It is one thing to understand the structure of the synapse from ... and help maintain the proper chemical environment at the synapse. The researchers focused on synapses that involve medium ...

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

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.

These synapses allow the brain to form both fleeting impressions and lasting memories through precise chemical interactions that modify their structure. Electronic devices have struggled to achieve ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses ... inside-droplet" structures observed in earlier experiments. Through simulations and detailed analyses of the physical forces and chemical interactions ...

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

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.

Rodin Therapeutics said Thursday it has begun testing a recently developed radioactive chemical that binds with a protein present in synapses, structures that allow nerve cells to pass electrical ...

The general idea is that a deficiency of certain neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) at synapses ... the disease are irregularities in brain structure and function, disturbances in neural ...
