A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and ...

Neurons perform numerous complex tasks by communicating with each other via small messenger molecules called neurotransmitters. Accurately detecting them is crucial to understanding the functioning of ...

Different locations of neurotransmitter release sites in axon-bearing and anaxonic olfactory bulb dopaminergic neurons allow self-inhibition only in anaxonic cells, showing how polarity differences ...

New research from Colorado State University into the ways neurons regulate chemical balance in the brain could provide ...

The contact areas between nerve cells are called synapses. What happens there lies at the heart of communication between nerve cells. Communication starts with the release of chemical messengers known ...

Researchers in the US have for the first time used MRI to follow the dynamics of neurotransmitters with molecular precision. They have demonstrated the technique on dopamine, a neurotransmitter that ...

If you struggled with math as a child, blame your neurotransmitters. Researchers have long thought that brain excitement and inhibition levels are related to learning, especially during formative ...

Stanford University researchers developed a tissue-mimicking, stretchable sensor termed NeuroString for real-time measurement of neurotransmitter dynamics in vivo in the brain, gut, and other soft ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have used powerful new brain imaging techniques to reveal a neurochemical imbalance within specific brain areas in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder ...
