Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) involve mild to severe impairment of social, behavioral and communication abilities. These disorders can significantly impact performance at school, in employment and ...

A joint research team led by KAIST has used a small, implantable neural chip to wirelessly monitor real-time changes in a ...

A new perspective argues that artificial synapses delivering neurotransmitters could overcome the limits of drugs and ...

Researchers have developed a new method of labeling naïve neurotransmitter receptor proteins in living animal brains. The work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Neurotransmitter transporters are integral membrane proteins responsible for the rapid clearance of signalling molecules from the synaptic cleft and their return to presynaptic terminals.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a key component of neuronal ...

Disorders of neurotransmitter metabolism encompass a range of inherited and acquired conditions characterised by disrupted synthesis, degradation or recycling of key signalling molecules such as ...

KAIST wireless neural chip achieved real-time acetylcholine monitoring in minipig brains during donepezil administration, the ...

The study’s lead author, Assistant Project Scientist Swetha Godavarthi, and colleagues investigated neurotransmitter expression in the medial prefrontal cortex, a brain area often affected in ...
