Imaging neurotransmitter transport in live cells with stimulated Raman scattering microscopy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Chemical neurotransmission is central to neurotypical brain function but also implicated in a variety of psychiatric neurodegenerative diseases. The release dynamics of neurotransmitters is correlated with but distinct from neuronal electrical signal propagation.

Cholinergic suppression: A postsynaptic mechanism of long-term associative learning [PDF]
, 1986 Food avoidance learning in the mollusc Pleurobranchaea entails reduction in the responsiveness of key brain interneurons in the feeding neural circuitry, the paracerebral feeding command interneurons (PCNs), to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (AcCho).

A transsynaptic nanocolumn aligns neurotransmitter release to receptors
Nature, 2016 Synaptic transmission is maintained by a delicate, sub-synaptic molecular architecture, and even mild alterations in synapse structure drive functional changes during experience-dependent plasticity and pathological disorders. Key to this architecture is

Neuronal activity regulates neurotransmitter switching in the adult brain following light-induced stress. [PDF]
, 2018 Neurotransmitter switching in the adult mammalian brain occurs following photoperiod-induced stress, but the mechanism of regulation is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that elevated activity of dopaminergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the ...

Geometry aware predictive models for exocytosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Inter neuron communication happens through the exchange of neurotransmitters at the synapse by a process known as exocytosis. This makes exocytosis a fundamental process of information exchange in the body. The exocytosis process has a distinct geometry as it involves a vesicle that attaches to the cell membrane and then releases the neurotransmitters ...

SNARE proteins as molecular masters of interneuronal communication [PDF]
, 2010 In the beginning of the 20th century the groundbreaking work\ud of Ramon y Cajal firmly established the neuron doctrine, according to which neurons are the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. Von Weldeyer coined the term “neuron”

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 We review the evidence regarding the nongenomic (or non-canonical) actions of thyroid hormones (thyronines) and their derivatives (including thyronamines and thyroacetic acids) in the adult brain.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997 Although signaling between neurons is central to the functioning of the brain, we still do not understand how the code used in signaling depends on the properties of synaptic transmission.

A computational model for synaptic message transmission [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 A computational model incorporating insights from quantum theory is proposed to describe and explain synaptic message transmission. We propose that together, neurotransmitters and their corresponding receptors, function as a physical "quantum decision tree" to "decide" whether to excite or inhibit the synapse.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 There is increasing evidence suggesting a link between the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome. Experimental and clinical studies have shown that patients diagnosed with ASD display alterations of the gut microbiota ...
