Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections ...

A stash of neurotransmitter-packed vesicles hunkers close to the presynaptic membrane so the vesicles can ... and scientists long assumed these proteins were essential to neuron signaling. For years, ...

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 ...
