Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be sent to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to ...

Synapses are subcellular microcompartments that are essential for a digital form of transneuronal communication, mediated by chemical mediators termed neurotransmitters. At excitatory synapses in ...

Our research is focused on molecular and supramolecular structures that facilitate communication between neurons at the chemical synapse and how such structures are perturbed in neurological disease.

These synapses allow the brain to form both fleeting impressions and lasting memories through precise chemical interactions that modify their structure. Electronic devices have struggled to achieve ...

These synapses facilitate information transfer across the brain by launching chemical messengers. As we learn, specific ...
