Researchers in Germany have discovered previously unknown mutations in autistic and mentally impaired patients in what is known as the SHANK2 gene, a gene that is partially responsible for linking ...
Max Planck Researchers have identified a protein that is essential for the maintenance of synapses: if the protein Staufen2 is removed in a nerve cell, the cell loses a large portion of its synapses.
Synapsin I (formerly referred to as protein I) is the collective name for two almost identical phosphoproteins, synapsin Ia and synapsin Ib (protein Ia and protein Ib), present in the nervous system.
Schematic representation of axonal transport vesicles (blue) carrying presynaptic proteins (SV and AZ proteins). Kinesin motor proteins (KIF1A) attach these vesicles and carry them along the axons to ...
Neurons communicate through rapid electrical signals that regulate the release of neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. Once transmitted across a neuron, electrical signals cause the ...
Researchers working with Professor Gudrun Rappold, Director of the Department of Molecular Human Genetics at Heidelberg University Hospital, have discovered previously unknown mutations in autistic ...
The way two of the proteins interact, and their atomic structure, bear resemblance to the human nervous system. "We found this mysterious unknown structure in the sponge, and it is clear that ...
The axon is the part of the nerve cell that carries information away from the cell body to the synapse between it and another cell’s dendrites. Dendrites are the branches of a nerve cell where ...
The fine structure of elements of the nervous systems of adults and protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus is described. The lateral nerve trunks are composed of numerous unmyelinated fibers without ...
