A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key ...

For the first time, the smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped—a discovery that opens entirely new ...

Revealing the fundamental principles of how neural circuits are organized and operate is a key challenge in neuroscience. In the past 60 years, intensive effort has been invested in characterizing ...

In the PNS, NO is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that mediates the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic relaxation of smooth muscle in both the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts. NO exerts its ...

Neurotransmitters are often described as excitatory or inhibitory because they can activate or inhibit specific actions of their target cell. Each neurotransmitter can have various effects on diff ...

Researchers have discovered how the molecular "brake" on vision works, after mapping 44 different visual cells.

The smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped -- a discovery that opens entirely new insights into how our vision works and how it can be affected by disease.

However, a series of weak stimuli can combine, increasing the amount of neurotransmitter that is released. This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to ...
