Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, opens channels in brain cells.

Johns Hopkins researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to study how glutamate opens AMPA receptors, which control brain ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists say they have successfully used a highly specialized microscope to capture more precise details of how one of the most ...

Most communication between neurons is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. The finding that temperature influences how glutamate binds to neuronal receptor proteins to initiate signal ...

This important study suggests that adolescent mice exhibit less accuracy than adult mice in a sound discrimination task when the sound frequencies are very similar. While the evidence supporting this ...

#CryoEM, is helping scientists see how #glutamate, a major neuron-to-neuron signaling molecule, opens a channel and acts like a pore that takes in charged particles. @McGovernMed @UTHealthHouston › ...
