Researchers say their sensor can monitor levels of the neurotransmitter in real time, bringing at-home health management ...

A neurotransmitter previously thought only to calm neurons may also play a role in waking them up, according to a study published in the journal PLOS Biology, a discovery which challenges the textbook ...

In the intricate chemical symphony of the brain, glutamate stands as the principal conductor. As the brain's most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate facilitates our ability to learn, form ...

Neurons talk to each other using chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of ...

Researchers at the University of Münster and Ruhr University Bochum have demonstrated for the first time in real time that the body's own defense cells use catecholamines—neurotransmitters such as ...

Glutamate is a chemical messenger in the brain that plays a crucial role in learning and memory. It also functions to regulate mood. In this article, we provide a definition of glutamate and explain ...

Researchers have developed a new method of labeling naïve neurotransmitter receptor proteins in living animal brains. The work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...
