Discover how the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter, glutamate, is revolutionizing psychiatry and offering new hope for ...

Neurotransmitters are often described as excitatory or inhibitory because they can activate or inhibit specific actions of their target cell. Each neurotransmitter can have various effects on diff ...

Researchers have discovered how the molecular "brake" on vision works, after mapping 44 different visual cells.

DAKAs dampen the activity of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate which plays an important role in many physiological, neurological and neurobehavioral functions. Accordingly, AMPAR and KAINR ...

The smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped -- a discovery that opens entirely new insights into how our vision works and how it can be affected by disease.

Vision is one of the most complex functions of our brain and requires a seamless interaction between many different brain structures to decode shapes, colours, depths, and movements and turn them into ...
