Representative cryo-electron microscopy image: a coloured image of the 3D structure of gephyrin, which was calculated from the data. A team of scientists from the University of Cologne’s Institute of ...

The study presents convincing quantitative evidence, supported by appropriate negative controls, for the presence of low-abundance glycine receptors (GlyRs) within inhibitory synapses in telencephalic ...

A DGIST research team identified that the mutation of the collybistin protein found in autistic patients weakens the brain's inhibitory synaptic function and leads to communication deficiencies. The ...

Using a mouse model, researchers have discovered a new daily rhythm in a type of synapse that dampens brain activity. Known as inhibitory synapses, these neural connections are rebalanced so that we ...

As you’re reading this sentence, cells in your brain are sending rapid-fire electrical signals between each other, transmitting information. They’re doing so via tiny, specialized junctions between ...

Whether picking up a small object like a pen or coordinating different body parts, the cerebellum in the brain performs essential functions for controlling our movement. Researchers investigated how a ...

A researcher has developed a new model that provides a holistic view on how our brain manages to learn quickly and forms stable, long-lasting memories. Their study sheds light on the crucial role of ...
