In the nervous system, electrical signals are sent down a nerve cell (neuron) to a synapse that transmit the electrical signal from one nerve cell to another. Their main purpose is to limit the ...
Interactions of two voltage-gated calcium channels and a pump enable separate control of exocytosis and endocytosis at chemical synapses. Chemical synapses transmit information within the nervous ...
A recent multi-species study has found that the CD2AP gene, a known risk gene for Alzheimer’s disease, is key for regulating synaptic transmission. A multi-species study integrating experiments in ...
