Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

The primitive hydra provides an evolutionarily early example of basic neural networks. Its synaptic connections between ...

When Roska’s team scanned the 3D network plane-by-plane using 2P imaging, they had to sequentially characterize all the presynaptic neurons’ activity, then infer how these qualities could ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.
