A BASIC step in the functioning of chemically operating synapses is the effect of the transmitter substance on the postsynaptic membrane. Although in some synapses the transmitter acts on ion “pumping ...

Neurons communicate via chemical transmitters which they store in the bubble-like synaptic vesicles and release as required. To be able to react reliably to stimulation, neurons must have a certain ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has uncovered novel cellular mechanisms within the retina, findings that could help advance the development of targeted therapeutics for diseases and conditions impacting ...
