It appears that autophagy protects our neurons in the brain, but evidently for entirely different reasons than previously assumed, as researchers from the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare ...

Ca²⁺ influx into presynaptic nerve terminals activates synaptic vesicle exocytosis by triggering fast synchronous fusion and a slower asynchronous release pathway. In addition, a brief rise in Ca²⁺ ...

Neuroscientists at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have found that a protein acts like a volume dial for the release of neurotransmitters, the chemicals that neurons release across ...
