这一研究揭示了电突触在感官信息处理和行为选择中的全新功能，为神经科学领域带来了重要的理论突破。长期以来，电突触被视为一种简单的信号传递通路，主要作用是通过间隙连接（gap ...

Furthermore, we currently have little understanding of the functional states of synapses on a cell-assembly basis. What is the overall signaling impact of synaptic inputs at physically non ...

T cells, move over. B cells are now reported, in a recent paper in Nature, to have their own immunological synapses with APCs. Only this time the antigen is whole and B cells don't keep it to ...

Synaptic configurations play a key role in how the nervous system processes sensory information to generate behavioral ...

Living tissue from the memory centers of people’s brains reveals sparse nerve cell connections that provide strong, reliable signaling between cells.

Much interest has been focused on how synapses function at the molecular level, while the cell-cell interactions controlling the formation receive far less attention. This book expands the scope of ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

The Synapse How does one nerve cell transmit the nerve impulse to another cell? Electron microscopy and other methods show that it does so by means of special extensions that deliver a squirt of ...

However, a series of weak stimuli can combine, increasing the amount of neurotransmitter that is released. This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to ...

In research published in Cell Reports, Harnett and his team show how individual neurons can contribute to both parts of this ...

Seismic Therapeutic Inc. has provided preclinical data for S-4321, a novel dual-cell bidirectional (DcB) PD-1:FcγRIIb antibody being developed for the treatment of autoimmune disease. S-4321, a ...

Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art facility, expertise, and education in advanced quantitative light microscopy to support Drexel University’s research community The Cell Imaging Center (CIC ...
