A longstanding hypothesis in neurobiology was that a single neuron releases a single type of neurotransmitter, a molecule used by neurons to communicate with one another. In recent decades, several ...

New proteomics research is enabling scientists to decipher how neurotransmitter receptors behave and change as an organism develops. The new work could help scientists better understand the formation ...

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system are ...

A multidisciplinary team led by Professor Li Yulong from the School of Life Sciences at Peking University has developed a far-red fluorescent dopamine (DA) probe that enables real-time, multiplex ...
