Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...

Chanda and his team in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology focused on a specific and important type of synapse called GABAergic. He said neuroscience researchers have long ...

Synapse formation occurs rapidly during the ... press coverage has had the welcome effect of raising public interest in neuroscience and in the relationship between mind and brain.

In developmental neuroscience, a group led by Zhenge Luo has systematically explored the molecular mechanisms underlying axon development and synapse formation, and now aims to understand the ...

Using eMAP researchers labeled protein components on both the presynaptic side (bassoon) and post-synaptic side (PSD-95) of an excitatory synapse in a mouse. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Neuronal outgrowth, regeneration, synapse formation and plasticity are pivotal not only for normal brain development and function, but also for brain repair after injury or degeneration. The primary ...
