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 ...

The left panel shows the "tonic" neuron (stained green) innervating just one muscle on the right of the panel. In the next panel, one can see the phasic neuron (also stained green) connecting to more ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, identified a receptor that plays a crucial role in stress-induced motor ...

New research addresses a gap in understanding how ketamine's impact on individual neurons leads to pervasive and profound changes in brain network function. A World Health Organization Essential ...

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 ...
