Scientists have revealed the molecular structure of a type of receptor that's crucial to brain development and function. 'This study shows the dominant assemblies and states of the GABA receptor. That ...
Breaking a longstanding impasse in our understanding of olfaction, scientists at UC San Francisco have created the first molecular-level, 3D picture of how an odor molecule activates a human odorant ...
In the late 1950s, dopamine was recognized as a neurotransmitter in its own right. A specific functional role for dopamine was suggested by the demonstration of its uncharacteristic distribution in ...
A team of scientists has now identified address codes in odorant receptor proteins for the first time. Similar to zip codes, the codes ensure that the sensor proteins are targeted from inside the cell ...
A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* in August 2020 confirms and extends earlier findings showing that a type of sugar-based receptor on innate immune cells promotes the entry of the ...
Not everyone with ADHD responds to stimulants like Ritalin, which increase dopamine levels in the brain. Now, new research suggests the drug’s effectiveness is less about the amount of dopamine it ...
