So, if the presynaptic input is strong, the probability of obtaining a '1' as postsynaptic output will increase. In the extreme case, a very strong input will always make the postsynaptic neuron ...

For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which is then received by a postsynaptic ...

A neuron-specific splice ... Neuroligin-1 is found on the postsynaptic side of excitatory synapses 5, and neurexins may be primarily localized to the presynaptic membrane, although definitive ...

Unraveling synaptic interactions between excitatory and inhibitory interneurons within rhythmic neural circuits, such as central pattern generation (CPG) circuits for rh ...

Studies on humans have generally been less definitive than those done on animals because it is substantially more difficult to record the activity of a single neuron in human brains. However ...

Neurons have the amazing ability to self-organize into highly refined networks. I am interested in how these networks form. I am especially interested in the molecular pathways underlying this process ...

This increase in monoamine neurotransmitter concentrations results in increased binding at postsynaptic receptors ... their reabsorption into the presynaptic neuron. Drugs called monoamine ...

The picture shows a cultured mouse hippocampal neuron. The small white dots are postsynaptic densities containing labelled FAM81A.

They say their "mini-brain" can sense and respond to its environment. Writing in the journal Neuron, Dr Brett Kagan, of the company Cortical Labs, claims to have created the first ''sentient'' lab ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disorder that manifests ... may be performed to distinguish between presynaptic and postsynaptic disorders. The panels are courtesy of Dr ...

This month, the autumn wind delivers news about connections — between regions of the brain, between environmental patterns that affect global warming, and between neonatal ultrasound technology and ...

Five-year-old AI customer service startup Neuron7 just closed an oversubscribed $44 million Series B round led by Keith Block and his year-and-half-old venture firm, Smith Point Capital.
