The regulation of neuronal excitability and the maintenance of an appropriate balance between excitation and inhibition are central to brain function. Inhibitory synaptic transmission, predominantly ...

When neuroscientists analyzed the exact properties of nerve connections in the brain, they made a startling observation: At a key connection, or synapse, messages are sent against the usual stream of ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Cognitive decline associated with aging is caused by the loss of cholinergic nerve supply to the hippocampus of our brain. Since the hippocampus is the center of learning and memory, a reduction in ...

Objectives Neurogranin (Ng) has a role in synaptic plasticity and is considered a biomarker of synaptic dysfunction, a process hypothesised to be important in delirium. Few studies examining Ng in ...

I’m fascinated by how neurons communicate with each other and my long-term career goal is to understand how synapses in sensory systems, particularly visual system, achieve and maintain fast and ...
