Glutamate is first released near the AMPA-type glutamate receptors, then released near the NMDA-type receptors immediately after the first signal to activate the switch for synaptic plasticity.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which neurons communicate via intonations.
Researchers test the theory that a neuron's identity can be described by the genes it expresses alone.
Axolotl salamander genes that allow the neural tube and nerve fibers to regenerate after spinal cord damage have been identified. These genes are also found in humans, but are activated differently.
