Receptors and neurotransmitters act like a lock-and-key system. Just as it takes the right key to open a specific lock, a neurotransmitter (the key) will only bind to a specific receptor (the lock).

Dopamine is the neurotransmitter everyone has heard of ... This allowed the mice to activate their own dopamine system at the push of a button. The result was astonishing: they stopped eating ...

The study, published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation, narrows down the specific neuronal populations and neurotransmitter systems that could mediate these effects. Researchers were able to tag ...

The modulatory neurotransmitters activate G protein-coupled receptors, which share signal transduction systems in cells. In addition to regulating key physiological functions, these systems are ...

Interestingly, the neurotransmitter switch appeared to be ... it occurs close to the beginning of the assembly of the nervous ...

Recent research has increasingly focused on how neurotransmitter systems, particularly those involving noradrenaline and serotonin, regulate the activity and expression of these enzymes.

Research shows that the drug activates the cannabinoid neurotransmitter system (which protects the brain), and this stimulates the cholinergic system (which controls memory and learning ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.
