How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

The stochasticity of molecular events seems to be in contradiction with the reliability of synaptic transmission, which raises the issues of robustness and sensitivity in the process. Building an ...

This work highlights the importance of synaptic activity in initiating ... does not directly trigger the scaling process and that reductions in AMPAergic transmission might instead directly ...

That's the signal and this process is very fast ... protein players and the broad strokes of membrane fusion for synaptic transmission. Bernard Katz was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Medicine ...

Information flows in a well-defined direction in the brain: Chemical and electrical signals are passed from one neuron to the other across the synapse, from the pre-synaptic to the post-synaptic ...

These modifications of synaptic transmission result in stronger or ... shown that RIM proteins are essential in regulating this process. The release of the neurotransmitter from the presynaptic ...

However now, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have for first time elucidated details about the architecture of the synaptic transmission process. The findings ...

We rely on synaptic ... transmission of signals across synaptic connections in the brain. These specific proteins are called AMPARs and are considered key players in synaptic plasticity, the ...
