A study has shown that a long-overlooked form of neuron-to-neuron communication called miniature neurotransmission plays an essential role in the development of synapses, the regions where nerve ...

Neurons communicate through rapid electrical signals that regulate the release of neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. Once transmitted across a neuron, electrical signals cause the ...

Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to the neurotrophin gene family and has well established roles in neuronal survival, development and maturation as well as synaptic transmission and ...

In 2015, Harel Weinstein’s team used the Titan supercomputer at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to produce the first end-to-end simulation of a sodium ion, ...

What are the advantages of EC-MS? EC-MS acts as a sensitive detector and provides information about the molecular weight of a sample of interest. In addition, the electrochemical conversion improves ...
