Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to ...
Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining ...
Synaptic transmission is an energy hog. It requires neurons to tap ATP reserves to respond to incoming signals. How do they pull this off, thousands to millions of times per day? A new study ...
Low-dose ephedrine disrupts synaptic signaling and behavior in adult zebrafish. Schematic overview of the experimental design, key neurotoxic mechanisms, and functional outcomes following chronic ...
Increased levels of bioactive lipids produced naturally in the body, which affect excitatory transmission between brain cells, promote mental disorders. However, this mechanism can be rebalanced by ...
A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites - not a shared site - to achieve different types of ...
