Neurotransmitter release is a finely orchestrated process in which synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic plasma membrane to deliver chemical signals across the synaptic cleft. This cycle ...
Upon energy restriction, an unusual release of the neurotransmitter glutamate can be observed. The overabundance of glutamate ultimately causes damages to nerve cells. Upon energy restriction, an ...
A longstanding hypothesis in neurobiology was that a single neuron releases a single type of neurotransmitter, a molecule used by neurons to communicate with one another. In recent decades, several ...
Our brain requires a constant supply of energy. A disrupted energy supply, as, for instance, caused by a stroke, can have serious complications. A team from the research group Cellular Neurobiology at ...
Neurotransmitters are the words our brain cells use to communicate with one another. For years, researchers relied on tools that provided limited temporal and spatial resolution to track changes in ...
Illustration of neurotransmitters released from vesicles into the synaptic space. The reviewed study highlights that, beyond neurons, immune cells such as T cells, B cells, and macrophages can also ...
Your body functions using chemical messages that are directed throughout your system with specific targets. These chemical messages are carried by neurotransmitters, which act as a messenger directing ...

How Neurotransmitters Work and What They Do
The brain chemicals behind your mood, sleep, and body functions Medically reviewed by Shaheen Lakhan, MD, PhD, FAAN Ever wonder what's going on in your brain when a certain mood strikes? You can thank ...
The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
