Neurotransmission-the electrical and chemical signaling between neurons-is fundamental to all brain function. Until now, most gene expression studies of the human brain have relied on postmortem ...

What are the three modes of neurotransmission, and how do they differ in terms of temporal coupling with action potentials? There are three modes of neurotransmission: stimulation-dependent release ...

Galanin is a multifunctional neuropeptide that plays a critical role in modulating both metabolic processes and neurotransmission. Originally identified as a gut-derived hormone, it has since been ...

A team of researchers shows how proteins called 'chaperones' are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When this neurotransmission breaks down, devastating diseases such ...

Researchers have identified a distinct and reproducible gene expression program associated with neurotransmission in the living human brain, offering unprecedented insight into the molecular ...
