The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...

At least 40 proteins are required for the assembly and function of AMPA receptors, the main neurotransmitter receptors in excitatory synapses of the brain. In the past ten years, Fakler’s research ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) have uncovered unique roles for a protein complex in the structural organization and function of ...

Researchers are uncovering how disrupted glutamatergic synapses drive diverse forms of intellectual disability, revealing new paths toward targeted treatments.
