Neurons - Ultrastructure
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Neurons'The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM. Common names: Neurons; Neuron; Nerve Cells; Cell, Nerve; Cells, Nerve; Nerve Cell |

Two classes of GABAergic neurons in the inferior colliculus.
2 Nov 2009 
The inferior colliculus (IC) is unique, having both glutamatergic and GABAergic projections ascending to the thalamus. Although subpopulations of GABAergic neurons in the IC have been proposed, criteria to distinguish them have been elusive and ... Read more...
ELKS2alpha/CAST deletion selectively increases neurotransmitter release at inhibitory synapses.
27 Oct 2009 The presynaptic active zone is composed of a protein network that contains ELKS2alpha (a.k.a. CAST) as a central component. Here we demonstrate that in mice, deletion of ELKS2alpha caused a large increase in inhibitory, but not excitatory, ... Read more...
Dual palmitoylation of NR2 subunits regulates NMDA receptor trafficking.
27 Oct 2009 Modification of NMDA receptor function and trafficking contributes to the regulation of synaptic transmission and is important for several forms of synaptic plasticity. Here, we report that NMDA receptor subunits NR2A and NR2B have two distinct ... Read more...
