A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant ...

The study presents convincing quantitative evidence, supported by appropriate negative controls, for the presence of low-abundance glycine receptors (GlyRs) within inhibitory synapses in telencephalic ...

Co-written with Jai Liester. Silent synapses represent one of neuroscience's most fascinating discoveries—connections between neurons that lie dormant until activated by specific triggers. These ...

The microscopic image shows a nerve cell and a magnified view of the investigated synapses. Calcium was released at these sites using a UV flash, which triggered the release of the neurotransmitter.

Synaptic vesicles act as the brain’s chemical couriers, transporting neurotransmitters between cells. When a nerve impulse arrives, these vesicles fuse with the neuron’s membrane and release their ...

Fruit flies are excellent research models, in part because it is so easy and inexpensive to raise them, and also because they are so well characterized. The DNA of these insects is estimated to be ...

The rapid and sustained effects of Tazbentetol on clinical outcome measures are consistent with findings from a NIH-supported, published Alzheimer's mouse model study where synapse loss in the ...

Individuals with traumatic brain iInjuries are an underrepresented group across the country. Synapse is a national club that is dedicated to giving a supportive community to those who have experienced ...
