Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter ... Neurotransmitters must be removed from the synapse before another signal can be transmitted. With most neurotransmitters, this clean-up is achieved ...

One particular synapse type, cholinergic, uses the chemical transmitter acetylcholine to communicate between nerve cells. Cholinergic synapses are essential for normal learning and memory ...

Called acetylcholine, this neurotransmitter 'edits out' the potential synapse sites on the muscle cell not destined to connect to a nerve. In mature animals, acetylcholine is a key ...

Synapse Plasticity is the Basis of Learning ... which in the new study was acetylcholine. The Wnt signal "is a secondary signal that controls the volume of the neurotransmitter signal," Maricq ...

Postsynaptic receptor localization is crucial for synapse development and function ... regulated actin-dependent vesicular trafficking of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) to the postsynaptic ...

Based on these findings, the researchers suggest that acetylcholine regulates how much glutamate is released into the synapse, and at what frequency. It also facilitates the packaging of glutamate ...

Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, that plays an important role in brain and muscle function. Imbalances in acetylcholine are linked with chronic conditions, such as ...

In fact, this is the synapse brain protein found that appears to have both these essential jobs with receptors. It was known that there's a lot of rapsyn near the acetylcholine receptors at the ...
