Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, used high-speed atomic force microscopy to observe dynamic changes in AMPA receptors, which are vital for brain ...

Finding may advance creation of new drugs that target AMPA receptors to treat brain cancer, pain and Alzheimer’s disease By super cooling a molecule on the surface of brain cells down to about minus ...

While the COVID pandemic has thankfully been over for some time now, there is still a considerable number of people in the world (about 400 million) suffering from long COVID. Long COVID is a chronic ...

The finding of a new study could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders. In an effort ...

Most communication between neurons is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. The finding that temperature influences how glutamate binds to neuronal receptor proteins to initiate signal ...

The research, published June 4 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, identifies critical connections between activity of the epilepsy drug perampanel and the resulting movements of the AMPA ...

Researchers headed by a team at Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) reported promising data from preclinical in vivo studies evaluating a ...

A new study by McGill University researchers yields insights into how the disruption of calcium transport in the brain is linked to autism and intellectual disability. The findings, published in the ...
