Synapses are a key component of neural circuits, facilitating rapid and specific signalling between neurons. Synaptic engineering — the synthetic insertion of new synaptic connections into in vivo ...

The mammalian auditory periphery transforms sound into neural signals via specialised hair cells and their ribbon-type synapses. Inner hair cells convert mechanical vibrations into receptor potentials ...

A research team led by Dr. Àlex Bayés, Head of the Molecular Physiology of the Synapse Group at the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), has achieved what for decades had been an elusive goal: ...

Schematic representation of axonal transport vesicles (blue) carrying presynaptic proteins (SV and AZ proteins). Kinesin motor proteins (KIF1A) attach these vesicles and carry them along the axons to ...

The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature Communications that determined that liquid-liquid phase separation plays a key role ...
