McGill University researchers have demonstrated that AMPA receptors (AMPARs), which mediate fast excitatory neurotransmission in the brain fundamental to learning and memory processes, exhibit varying ...
In this study, researchers used positron emission tomography and a special tracer to study the relationship between the distribution of an important neuronal receptor (AMPA) and the occurrence and ...
AMPA receptors control excitatory transmission in the central nervous system by converting glutamate release into rapid cation influx and postsynaptic depolarisation. Their gating kinetics and ion ...
Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...
While the COVID pandemic has thankfully been over for some time now, there is still a considerable number of people in the world (about 400 million) suffering from long COVID. Long COVID is a chronic ...
Even though psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are quite common, their diagnosis and treatment are challenging. While doctors today have ...
