A new study proposes that synaptic vesicle endocytosis at a large synaptic terminal is partly independent of dynamin and GTP hydrolysis, suggesting a new mechanism leading to vesicle fission and ...

Neurons transmit electrical signals efficiently only when they recycle neurotransmitter-carrying vesicles that have been expelled into the synapse. Researchers now report that the recycling of ...

Neurons in the brain form tangled webs of connections. Within these webs, cells communicate with each other to control motor, cognitive and other functions. Neurons in the brain form tangled webs of ...

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 ...
