This study focused on how NMDAR, an important cell surface receptor, triggers a complex chemical cascade in postsynaptic neurons in the nucleus accumbens region of the brain. More specifically, 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 ...
This valuable work analyzes how specialized cells in the auditory cells, known as the octopus cells, can detect coincidences in their inputs at the submillisecond time scale. While previous work ...
However, the cellular mechanisms by which MC4R regulates reproduction are unknown. Kiss1 neurons directly stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release through two distinct populations; the ...
