Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Parasitic tapeworm larvae release glutamate and other excitatory molecules that can directly excite brain neurons.

Synaptic vesicle endocytosis is the biological process by which the plasma membrane at the pre-synaptic axon terminal invaginates to create membrane-bound synaptic vesicles. This process enables ...

Our results show that NanoMIs primarily enhance axon elongation by modulating the PFN1-actin-cytoskeleton pathway. These findings suggest that NanoMIs offer a promising approach for exploring the role ...

In eukaryotic cells, ion channels, which ubiquitously present as polypeptides or proteins, usually regulate the ion transport across biological membranes by conformational switching of the channel ...
