The team examined how acute stress affected neurotransmitter signals within neurons in this region, particularly focusing on a switch from excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamate) to inhibitory ones ...
A tailored cocktail of genes can reprogram a subset of progenitors to no longer produce glial cells and instead develop into neurons involved in motor control.
Neurotransmitter transporters surrounding the synapse clear the transmitters from the cleft by coupling the thermodynamically unfavorable uptake to the favorable co-transport of one or more sodium ...
