Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

Researchers expect LICONN technology will be broadly useful to enable high-resolution tissue analysis in other organs and ...

This was achieved through adjusting the resistance of the bulk terminal to specific values ... cell capable of operating either in a neuron or a synaptic regime, which the researchers have ...

A team of Harvard researchers have unveiled a way to map the molecular underpinnings of how learning and memories are formed, ...

The last point on the axon terminal is called the ... These chemical messengers cross the synaptic cleft, binding to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron and setting in motion a chain of events ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ... is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be ...

Suppressing a neuron’s activity selectively impaired plasticity in basal, but not apical, dendrites. As mice learned a new behavior, researchers closely tracked synaptic connections (depicted ...
