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 ...

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, ...

Synaptic pruning is a crucial neurodevelopmental process through which the brain refines its neural circuitry by systematically eliminating excess or weak synaptic connections. During early childhood ...
