Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, ...

In particular, studies have suggested that something is unusual about signaling controlled by the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), whether it be lower levels of GABA or the ...

Analyzing activity of dopamine receptors also reinforced the role this neurotransmitter plays in changing stages of sexual behavior. Miyasaka and her team looked at D2R and D1R, two major dopamine ...

A new study by McGill University researchers yields insights into how the disruption of calcium transport in the brain is ...

Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps to activate muscles ...

The modulatory neurotransmitters activate G protein-coupled receptors, which share signal transduction systems in cells. In addition to regulating key physiological functions, these systems are ...
