The investigation of functional interactions between carbohydrates and neurotransmitter
receptors is a challenging task. The presence of a wide variety of carbohydrates in the …

Neurotransmitter receptors, the macromolecules specialized in decoding the chemical
signals encrypted in the chemical signaling mechanism in the nervous system, occur either …

Weak interactions of neurotransmitters and the lipid matrix in the synaptic membrane have
been hypothesized to play a role in synaptic transmission of nerve signals, particularly with …

Aimed at reproducing the results of electrophysiological studies of synaptic signal
transduction, conventional models of neurotransmission are based on the specific binding of …

Organized fragments of grey matter of cerebral cortex (CC) maintained in vitro during cell
maturation in the explant culture assembly are presented as a novel tool for studies on the …

The composition of specialized structures present at synapses within the central nervous
system was elucidated by biochemical analysis of fractions enriched in synaptic junctional …

With the aim of investigating the roles of carbohydrates in synapse formation, we have
characterized a synapse-specific saccharide at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction. Two …

Neuronal communication involves synthesis, release, interaction with receptors, and
degradation of a wide variety of chemical mediators at synapses. These mediators comprise …

Brain tissue is bioenergetically expensive. In humans, it composes approximately 2% of
body weight and accounts for approximately 20% of calorie consumption. The brain …

We investigated the effects of cholesterol removal on spontaneous and KC l‐evoked
synaptic vesicle recycling at the frog neuromuscular junction. Cholesterol removal by methyl …
