Brain function relies on the ability of neurons to communicate with each other. Interneuronal
communication primarily takes place at synapses, where information from one neuron is …

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are a family of lipid molecules that act as key regulators of
synaptic transmission and plasticity. They are synthetized “on demand” following …

Endocannabinoids and their receptor CB1 play key roles in brain function. Astrocytes
express CB1Rs that are activated by endocannabinoids released by neurons. However, the …

A mixed-dimensional dual-channel synaptic transistor composed of inorganic nanoparticles
and organic nanowires was fabricated to expand the photoelectric gain range. The device …

Endocannabinoids (eCBs) are key activity-dependent signals regulating synaptic
transmission throughout the central nervous system. Accordingly, eCBs are involved in …

Throughout the brain, postsynaptic neurons release substances from their cell bodies and
dendrites that regulate the strength of the synapses they receive. Diverse chemical …

Adolescence is a time of rapid neurodevelopment and the endocannabinoid system is
particularly prone to change during this time. Cannabis is a commonly used drug with a …

A major goal of regenerative medicine and bioengineering is the regeneration of complex
organs, such as limbs, and the capability to create artificial constructs (so-called biobots) …

The term synapse applies to cellular specializations that articulate the processing of
information within neural circuits by providing a mechanism for the transfer of information …

Gap junctions provide the basis for electrical synapses between neurons. Early studies in
well-defined circuits in lower vertebrates laid the foundation for understanding various …
