New research from MIT suggests that astrocytes - long considered support cells - may play a key role in the human brain's ...

The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and ...

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

A pair of former champions will square off in hopes of getting their career back on track. Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez is the co-main event to Ryan Garcia vs Rolando "Rolly" Romero on Friday at ...

Abstract: Neurotoxins can be divided into presynaptic neurotoxins and postsynaptic neurotoxins based on their mechanism of action. The two neurotoxins have important application in basic research and ...

Neuroligin-1 (Nlgn1) is a postsynaptic cell-adhesion protein exclusively localised to excitatory synapses that is crucial for coordinating the transsynaptic alignment of presynaptic release sites with ...

ABSTRACT: Does the recent pandemic COVID-19 mean a very clear sign to eliminate our Earth? For such a “Living” and “Dying” problem, the answers from both “Atheists” and “Christians” are exactly the ...

However, whether and how presynaptic adhesion molecules trans-synaptically regulate the localization and stabilization of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptors remained largely unclear.

First, we reduced buffer sizes required for tracing a spike train which is required to pair all presynaptic and postsynaptic spike for an STDP time window. This method implements an exponential decay ...

Each of these levels covers a different scenario that can occur between the presynaptic and postsynaptic cell, such as spatial summation or coincidence potentiation. Using their knowledge of these ...
