You can thank your neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (aka nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body.

According to Maze, using the same enzyme to add and remove multiple kinds of neurotransmitters from histones leads to some intriguing epigenetic dynamics. “One of the key things to keep in mind ...

But here's the key part: storing these episodes in long-term memory requires special neurotransmitters. But your liquor shots prevent the neurotransmitters from working properly. So, instead of ...

Also, because the dyes bind to the vesicle membrane—unlike neurotransmitters, which are accumulated inside the vesicles—they do not really measure synaptic transmission. The groups decided to ...

In multicellular organisms, growth factors, hormones, neurotransmitters, and extracellular matrix components are some of the many types of chemical signals cells use. These substances can exert ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has to be used. Between impulses the transmitter molecules are rapidly removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent ...

A study showed that changes in the functioning of opioid neurotransmitters in the brain may underlie anorexia.

Motivation, addiction, sleep, high blood pressure – one family of neurones is implicated and if researchers at the University of Bristol hypothesise correctly, migraines could also be added to that ...

“The nutrients that we eat in food help produce neurotransmitters that regulate mood, energy, and sleep. Some Americans are simply not eating enough, whether it is due to food insecurity or ...

A research team led by Professor Kazuaki Sawada and Project Assistant Professor Hideo Doi of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology has ...
