Cerebral cortex synapses transmit signals more reliably than those in rear brain regions
The underlying mechanism is well known: put simply, synaptic signal transmission is triggered when calcium ions in the sender neuron bind to specific sensor proteins, which causes messengers—known as ...
A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...
Insulin and epidermal signals independently shape sexually dimorphic neurite branching in C. elegans
Sexual state-regulated insulin signaling and vulval epithelial cues engage distinct pathways to remodel the F-actin ...
Neurons produced from frontotemporal dementia patients' skin biopsies using modern stem cell technology recapitulate the synaptic loss and dysfunction detected in the patients' brains, a new study ...
Q | Write a brief introduction to yourself including the lab you work in and your research background. I am Kishore Kumar S Narasimhan, a neuroscientist passionate about understanding synaptic ...
What are the three modes of neurotransmission, and how do they differ in terms of temporal coupling with action potentials? There are three modes of neurotransmission: stimulation-dependent release ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains one of the most devastating and biologically elusive neurodegenerative diseases. Despite decades of research, its underlying mechanisms are still not fully ...
