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.

AMPARs can enter or leave the synapse through exocytosis and endocytosis ... AMPARs are probably inserted at sites distant from the synaptic cleft, from which they diffuse laterally within the ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the ...

A synapse is the junction between two neurons that allows a signal to pass between them. Neurons are cells that transmit information between your brain and other parts of the central nervous system.

The functioning of the brain relies on the establishment of very precise connections between neurons: synapses. A recent study, published in Nature Neuroscience, reveals that the formation ...

Silent synapses are dormant neural connections that hold untapped brain potential. Discover how ketamine, exercise, and other ...

Researchers have developed DELTA, a powerful new imaging method that maps brain-wide synaptic changes during learning.

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

Boost Neuroscience is a “stealth” biotech company that has developed a proprietary synapse network platform ... or Medicine for his work on synaptic transmission and biology.

This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to trigger the impulse in the postsynaptic neuron. This process is called summation.
