How do synaptic vesicles accumulate glutamate? – Kompass des Forschungsbereichs Information

Scientists from the Forschungszentrum Jülich from the Helmholtz Research Field Information and the University of South Florida have investigated and intricately modeled the processes in synaptic vesicles, a key component of neuron communication. Their findings could assist in developing therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative diseases. (Source: Forschungszentrum Jülich – Press releases) In our brain, neurons communicate via neurotransmitters, which trigger electrical signals in downstream neurons by binding and activating specific receptors. Neurotransmitters are released through the fusion of synaptic vesicles, which contain large amounts of neurotransmitters. Scientists from the Institute of Molecular an Cellular Physiology of Forschungszentrum Jülich and the University…
