Research indicates that following the onset of an acquired brain injury (ABI), the brain initiates an immediate ...

We have applied them to study the diffusion of synaptic receptors in the membrane and the generation of complex spiking patterns in whole neurons. We have recently extended our efforts to understand ...

Tracking of membrane-bound surface glutamate receptors at single-molecule resolution using QD- or fluorophore-labeled antibodies has revealed that lateral diffusion of synaptic receptors can be ...

The British Library's UK Web Archive has archived the pages. Visit the last archived version of the Centre for Synaptic Plasticity webpages.

Once they traverse the gap between neurons (synaptic cleft), neurotransmitters interact with excitatory or inhibitory receptors on the receiving cell to generate excitatory or inhibitory signals.

Researchers have studied how prenatal cannabis exposure affects brain development and cognitive functions, including memory ...

Brain derived neurotrophic factor also has the capacity to attach itself to synapse receptors. As a consequence of BDNF and synaptic receptor binding, this neurophysiological event results in the ...
