The findings are likely to interest a broad audience of scientists focusing on inhibitory synaptic transmission, the excitation-inhibition balance, and its disruption in disorders such as epilepsy.

Synaptic transmission is the biological process by which a neuron communicates with a target cell across a synapse. Chemical synaptic transmission involves the release of a neurotransmitter from ...

A recent study has uncovered the intricate ways in which a rare genetic mutation impacts brain cell communication, providing ...

The plasticity of synaptic connections is critical to the functioning of local circuits as it is thought to underlie information processing and storage in the brain. Traditionally, synaptic plasticity ...

In recent years, ketamine — long known for its misuse as a psychedelic party drug — has become a “life-saving” medicine for ...

University at Buffalo neuroscientists have identified the binding site of low-dose ketamine, providing critical insight into ...

Manual transmission cars are less common than vehicles with automatic transmission, accounting for less than 2.5% of sales in the United States. Fewer than 15% of modern car models even offer manual ...
