The researchers used fiber photometry systems to detect neurotransmitters, which involved injecting the mice with fluorescent ...

Are you one of those who can't imagine a workout without a pre-gym coffee fix? You're not alone! Caffeine is one of the most ...

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

The results have neuroscientists hypothesizing that CB1, the most common cannabinoid receptor in the brain, may have a protective role to play against two of the most common mental health disorders.

In moderation, caffeine consumption is safe, says Scott Rivkees, Florida’s former secretary of health and surgeon general.

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...

If the neurotransmitter binds to an ion channel receptor on the target cell, the related ion channel opens, and an electrical signal propagates itself along the length of the target cell.

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 ...
