Researchers identify the Munc13-1 protein as a crucial molecular pathway for working memory, linking calcium signaling to synaptic strengthening.

Working memory is a cognitive function that is essential for carrying out everyday activities and temporarily retaining ...

The underlying mechanism is well known: put simply, synaptic signal transmission is triggered when calcium ions in the sender neuron bind to specific sensor proteins, which causes messengers—known as ...

In a rat model of chronic heart failure, Xijiaqi Formula improved cardiac indices and rescued learning/memory deficits while suppressing glial activation and enhancing synaptic plasticity markers via ...

Low-dose ephedrine disrupts synaptic signaling and behavior in adult zebrafish. Schematic overview of the experimental design, key neurotoxic mechanisms, and functional outcomes following chronic ...
