How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

A new study by Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites—not a shared site—to achieve different types of ...

Based on the DA mediation, some sophisticated neuronal functions, including integration-and-firing, synaptic facilitation-induced spike broadening and DA-tunable spiking number and width, were ...
