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 ...

From work meetings to first dates, it's essential to adjust our behavior for success. In certain situations, it can even be a matter of life or death ...

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help nerve cells (neurons) communicate with one another. These chemical messengers affect the brain by either exciting (stimulating), inhibiting ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 49 (December 9, 2014), pp. 17660-17665 (6 pages) A muscle acetylcholine receptor (AChR) has two ...

A potentially promising strategy for encouraging the regeneration of damaged central nervous system cells known as neurons has been developed. The technique would use a biodegradable polymer ...

When picking through a basket of fruit, it doesn't seem very difficult to recognize a green pear from a green apple. This is easy, thanks to "feature binding" -- a process by which our brain combines ...

Acquisition of drug-reinforced behavior is accompanied by a systematic increase of release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) rather than dopamine, the expected prime reward neurotransmitter ...

Acetylcholine regulates blood flow, but the source of blood acetylcholine has been unclear. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that certain T cells in human blood can produce ...
