In a study published in Cell, a research team led by Zhu Shujia from the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with Li Yang ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The unconventional N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunits GluN3A and GluN3B can, when associated with the other glycine-binding subunit ...

McGill University researchers have demonstrated that AMPA receptors (AMPARs), which mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain fundamental to learning and memory processes, exhibit varying ...

In a recent study published in Cell, researchers uncovered the organization of nausea-associated brainstem circuits to show that selectively blocking the excitatory neurons responsive to ...

Experiencing a traumatic event such as violence or disaster can cause recurring flashbacks, anxiety, fear, and impaired cognition, collectively diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

A spectrogram of brain rhythm frequencies over time predicted by the team's model. After a first, moderate dose of ketamine gamma brain rhythm power (warmer colors) emerges. Then as the dose increases ...

Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: Certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanism responsible for turning migratory actions on and off in nematode worms. The team found that the protein syntaxin plays a vital role in storing memory ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, researchers captured images of a molecule called an autoantibody as it attached to a receptor on the surface of a nerve cell or neuron. This research may help ...
