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

At excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex, the most numerous synapses in our brain, the presynaptic nerve ... glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic neuron are heavily enriched in specialized ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Figure 3: Synaptic activity regulates the molecular composition of the postsynaptic density ... documents the localization of NMDARs at presynaptic axon terminals and supports their role in ...

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 ...

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

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.
