For cell adhesion molecules, a critical unanswered question is whether pre- and post-synaptic partners contribute equally to synaptogenesis, ...

Pre-synaptic cadherin/catenin complexes stablize post-synaptic spines in vivo Peer-Reviewed Publication. Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters ...

Similarly, the pre-synaptic mossy fiber detects when the post-synaptic neuron can't take more information: When activity increases in the post-synaptic neuron, the pre-synaptic neuron reduces the ...

New research shows that low-intensity repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can restore key synaptic structures ...

Studying the complex interactions between synaptic nerve endings as well as their development has now become much easier. Thanks to a method developed by scientists of the Karl Landsteiner University ...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) results from autoimmune antibodies against the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction with three major ...

Trans-synaptic Interaction of Orphan Receptor GPR179 with Dystroglycan-Pikachurin Complex Is Essential for the Synaptic Organization of Photoreceptors. Cell Reports 25(1) : 130-145.e5 Yuchen Wang*, ...

Synapse size and strength is tightly controlled and requires tight coordination between pre- and post-synaptic neurons. We study several molecules necessary for synaptogenesis including a2d proteins, ...
