Neurotransmitter transporters are integral membrane proteins responsible for the rapid clearance of signalling molecules from the synaptic cleft and their return to presynaptic terminals.

A neurotransmitter previously thought only to calm neurons may also play a role in waking them up, according to a study published in the journal PLOS Biology, a discovery which challenges the textbook ...

Researchers have developed a new method of labeling naïve neurotransmitter receptor proteins in living animal brains. The work is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a key component of neuronal ...

In the world's largest study on psychedelics and the brain, a team of researchers have shown how drug-induced changes in subjective awareness are anatomically rooted in specific neurotransmitter ...

Disorders of neurotransmitter metabolism encompass a range of inherited and acquired conditions characterised by disrupted synthesis, degradation or recycling of key signalling molecules such as ...
