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 ...

Essential for the communication between neurons are chemical synapses, highly organized cell-cell contacts ... Our work focuses on unraveling a molecule-specific “atlas” of the synaptic ...

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.

"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 ...

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

The human nervous system is made up of over 100 trillion synapses, structures that allow neurons to pass electrical and chemical signals to one another. In mammals, these synapses can initiate and ...

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 ...
