Altering synaptic plasticity leads to a computational switch in a hippocampal synapse: the presynaptic neuron turns into “detonator” mode, causing its postsynaptic partner to fire more readily.

A research team revealed in an animal study a previously unknown role of a presynaptic adhesion molecule to tell the new change by regulating postsynaptic NMDA-type receptor responses at excitatory ...

Hailed as one of the most important medical advances, the discovery of general anesthetics - compounds which induce unconsciousness, prevent control of movement and block pain - helped transform ...

Postsynaptic Simulator transforms principles about neuronal activation into a fun game. The app is divided into eight different levels, each of which describes a different objective to the user. Each ...
