A brain signaling system important for learning and memory appears to be linked to the brain structure that supports children ...

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Physiology of Forschungszentrum Jülich and the University of South Florida studied how synaptic vesicles accumulate the neurotransmitter ...

Upon energy restriction, an unusual release of the neurotransmitter glutamate can be observed. The overabundance of glutamate ultimately causes damages to nerve cells. Upon energy restriction, an ...

Humans remember the events of yesterday.A place visited for the first time.A conversation shared with someone.How to ride a ...

In the intricate chemical symphony of the brain, glutamate stands as the principal conductor. As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form ...

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) involve mild to severe impairment of social, behavioral and communication abilities. These disorders can significantly impact performance at school, in employment and ...

If you struggled with math as a child, blame your neurotransmitters. Researchers have long thought that brain excitement and inhibition levels are related to learning, especially during formative ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have used powerful new brain imaging techniques to reveal a neurochemical imbalance within specific brain areas in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder ...

First author Tim Ziebarth shows the atypical glutamate release events on the screen, which were visualized using a fluorescence sensor. Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted ...
