According to the authors, the chemical structures of psychedelics allow them to cross the plasma membrane and activate intracellular receptors that are not easily accessible to serotonin itself. Other ...

They aimed to understand how proteins and lipids work together to create a functional zone within the plasma membrane that responds to mechanical stress. Image Credit: ART-ur/Shutterstock.com The ...

Current neuroscience research on plasma membranes mainly focuses on proteins functionality, stability and compartmentalization and rarely take into account the impact of the lipidic environment on ...
