Tomosyn's tight regulation of neurotransmitter release distinguishes functions of two neuron classes at the fly neuromuscular junction, incluiding their ability to engage in a form of plasticity The ...

Because tonic neurons have those reserves, the study shows, they can step up glutamate release when receptors across the synapse begin to falter, a plasticity known as presynaptic homeostatic ...

A commentary published in Brain Medicine by Drs. Julio Licinio and Ma-Li Wong examines groundbreaking research identifying adenosine signaling as the convergent mechanism underlying rapid-acting ...

Researchers compared a pair of superficially similar motor neurons in fruit flies to examine how their differing use of the same genome produced distinctions in form and function. Figuring out how ...

Angiogenesis is regulated by means of a balance between activators and inhibitors. However, little is known regarding the regulation of the quiescent state of adult vessels. Corticotropin-releasing ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract It is widely appreciated that neurotransmission systems interact in their effects on human cognition, but those interactions have been little ...

The versatility of the nervous system comes from not only the diversity of ways in which neurons communicate in circuits, but also their “plasticity,” or ability to change those connections when new ...
