A study maps how toxic tau disrupts synapses over time, showing early postsynaptic damage that later spreads presynaptically.
The regulation of neuronal excitability and the maintenance of an appropriate balance between excitation and inhibition are central to brain function. Inhibitory synaptic transmission, predominantly ...
A holistic inquiry into how toxic tau impacts synapses provides a new take on the processes that lead to neuronal dysfunction ...
How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

The team used genetics like a scalpel blade to remove individual proteins from the synapse to identify their different roles within the synapse, and how they maintain synaptic transmission. They used ...
This study is led by Prof. Jun Li (Peking University Sixth hospital), Prof. Dai Zhang (Peking University Sixth hospital), Dr. Yuanlin Ma (Peking University Sixth hospital; The First Affiliated ...
How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...
