The brain really is an incredible organ, and neurons are the vital link between, well, everything. The brain is anything but set in stone; how we think, feel, reason, and understand the world changes ...

For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which is then received by a postsynaptic ...

A stash of neurotransmitter-packed vesicles hunkers close to the presynaptic membrane so the vesicles can fuse ... and scientists long assumed these proteins were essential to neuron signaling. For ...

By taking advantage of the glycoprotein in the starter cells, the virus could make infectious copies of itself, which spread to every presynaptic neuron connected to the starter cell. Once in these ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

This enzyme degrades monoamine neurotransmitters after their reabsorption into the presynaptic neuron. Drugs called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), inhibit this enzyme, resulting in an ...

Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

Methylphenidate is thought to block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. Swallow whole.
