A neurotransmitter previously thought only to calm neurons may also play a role in waking them up, according to a study published in the journal PLOS Biology, a discovery which challenges the textbook ...

Neurons perform numerous complex tasks by communicating with each other via small messenger molecules called neurotransmitters. Accurately detecting them is crucial to understanding the functioning of ...

Researchers have developed a new method of labeling naïve neurotransmitter receptor proteins in living animal brains. The work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a key component of neuronal ...

Disorders of neurotransmitter metabolism encompass a range of inherited and acquired conditions characterised by disrupted synthesis, degradation or recycling of key signalling molecules such as ...

In the world's largest study on psychedelics and the brain, a team of researchers have shown how drug-induced changes in subjective awareness are anatomically rooted in specific neurotransmitter ...

Neurotransmitter transporters are integral membrane proteins responsible for the rapid clearance of signalling molecules from the synaptic cleft and their return to presynaptic terminals.

The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia is a scientific theory that suggests dopamine directly contributes to schizophrenia symptoms. Research on this theory and other causes of schizophrenia is ...
