A new study from Auburn University provides new insights into neuronal connections, offering hope for the treatment of ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected, and their discovery could change how we understand Alzheimer's disease.

First discovered as proteins found on synaptic vesicles and at the presynaptic plasma membrane, SNAREs are members of a family of highly conserved proteins that reside on vesicles (v-SNAREs ...

We also found that the organization of the presynaptic milieu, including both synaptic vesicle pools and active zone scaffolding complexes, is fluid in nature, and dynamic liquid condensates are ...

Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ... the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again.

It turns out that these fatty messenger molecules are transported in fatty vesicles. This surprising discovery contrasts with how traditional messenger molecules move. Dopamine and serotonin ...
