Discover how the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter, glutamate, is revolutionizing psychiatry and offering new hope for ...

The modulatory neurotransmitters activate G protein-coupled receptors, which share signal transduction systems in cells. In addition to regulating key physiological functions, these systems are ...

A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive ...

The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent sensors. This injection revealed how the brain’s chemical messengers ...

Nerves throughout the body—including the brain, gastrointestinal system, heart, and muscles—are regulated by various neurotransmitters released by different nerves and glands. Common ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

but according to Sulzer they haven't worked well for the dopamine system. Also, because the dyes bind to the vesicle membrane—unlike neurotransmitters, which are accumulated inside the vesicles ...

A new USC study suggests that gut imbalances in children with autism may create an imbalance of metabolites in the digestive system - ultimately disrupting neurotransmitter production and influencing ...

Recreational drugs can affect neurotransmitters in the reward pathway within the brain. They can act as either agonists or antagonists. Recreational drugs can also stimulate the release of ...
