Neurotransmission, or synaptic transmission, corresponds to the movement of signals between neurons, permitting the transmission of information through the proliferation of action potentials. This ...

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to the neurotrophin gene family and has well established roles in neuronal survival, development and maturation as well as synaptic transmission and ...

Neurons communicate through rapid electrical signals that regulate the release of neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. Once transmitted across a neuron, electrical signals cause the ...

Researchers have just shown how one of the stress hormones regulates brain neurotransmission on the short and long term and enables neuronal connections to adapt. CNRS and Inserm (1) researchers, ...

Figure 1: Expression of t-toxins in neurons. Figure 3: Inducible and Cre-dependent t-toxins. An important therapeutic use could be the treatment of diseases caused by ion channel hyperactivity. For ...

While probing how organisms sense gravity and acceleration, scientists uncovered evidence that acid (proton concentration) plays a key role in communication between neurons. Scientists discovered that ...
