Although Nlgn1 and Nlgn2 are highly homologous and biochemically interact with the same extra- and intracellular proteins, Nlgn1 selectively functions in excitatory synapses whereas Nlgn2 functions in ...
Following the collapse of banking middleware vendor Synapse, fintechs, banks and regulators are unanimously calling for greater transparency into customer deposit accounts. Synapse linked nonbanks ...
How electrical synapses fine-tune sensory information for better decisions Date: January 8, 2025 Source: Yale University Summary: Scientists have taken a major step in understanding how animal ...
Illustration by Sarah Emerson Synaptic configurations play a key role in how the nervous system processes sensory information to generate behavioral responses. While chemical synapses are well ...
This is an important study using a combination of optogenetics and calcium imaging to provide insight into the function of the cholinergic input to the prelimbic cortex in probabilistic spatial ...
In the intricate networks of human and animal brains, decision-making is a highly complex process. While chemical synapses often take center stage, it appears they’re not the only stars of the show.
Drugs acting on the cholinergic system can improve or worsen cognitive abilities, and their effects are particularly pronounced in frail elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer disease.
IT has been suggested 1 that the vesicle-like structures inside the axon near the neuromuscular junction contain acetylcholine, but that “it would be practically impossible to pack 10 5 ...
2021). Cholinergics are known to influence hippocampal cognition, and one of the key pathological events in AD is a reduction in cholinergic neurotransmission (Schmeisser et al., 2012). Extracellular ...
