By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

A research team has established an innovative intracranial pre-olivary pretectal nucleus (OPN) optic tract injury model ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic ... reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and ...

Imaging the actin cytoskeleton in presynapses is not easy as the abundance of the protein in the postsynaptic terminal often obscures its presence in the presynaptic one, Leterrier explained. Genome ...
