By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.

2). However, agrin itself is not necessary for the formation of neuron–neuron synapses. This has led to an intensive search for trans-neuronal inducers. Among the candidates are cadherins ...

Synapses are subcellular microcompartments that ... and because its target glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic neuron are heavily enriched in specialized membrane structures that are directly ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the ...

A new frontier in neuromorphic computing by demonstrating that a single silicon transistor can behave like a neuron and ...

The team led by Associate Professor Mario Lanza from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of ...

Synapses are the connection points where neurons establish contact with each other to transmit information. For this ...

Making the transistor operate as a neuron or synapse is as simple as selecting the appropriate resistance for the bulk terminal. The physical phenomenon of "impact ionisation" had traditionally ...

Our research investigates how these liquid-like properties contribute to the main function of the neuron in synaptic signaling. The synapse, a highly ordered and dynamic subcellular system ...
