Electrophysiological studies, as well as light, fluorescence and electron microscopy approaches, have advanced our understanding of the functional and morphological characteristics of synaptic ...

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.

A new Drosophila collection of Parkinsonism models reveals early synaptic cholinergic projection neuron dysfunction, linking synaptic failure to later dopaminergic decline, highlighting a role for ...

This was achieved through adjusting the resistance of the bulk terminal to specific values ... capable of operating either in a neuron or a synaptic regime, which the researchers have called ...
