In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted ...
Synapsin I (formerly referred to as protein I) is the collective name for two almost identical phosphoproteins, synapsin Ia and synapsin Ib (protein Ia and protein Ib), present in the nervous system.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 23 (June 8, 2021), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) The construction and maturation of the postsynaptic apparatus are ...
"Even more surprising is that the sponge proteins have ‘signatures' indicating they probably interact with each other in a similar way to the proteins in synapses of humans and mice," said Oakley.
A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...
By showing how a single protein controls both the physical and functional aspects of electrical synapses, this study opens a window into the fundamental rules governing nervous system assembly.
Shimmering, gelatinous comb jellies wouldn’t appear to have much to hide. But their mostly see-through bodies cloak a nervous system unlike that of any other known animal, researchers report in the ...
Researchers describe the first complete wiring diagram of the nervous system of an animal, the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, used by scientists worldwide as a model organism. The study includes ...
