Study unveils how proteins control information processing in brain ANI | Updated: May 09, 2021 15:29 IST
Halle [Germany], May 9 (ANI): A complicated interaction between different proteins is needed for information to pass from one nerve cell to the next. A team of researchers now managed to study this process in the synaptic vesicles, which play an important role in this process.
The study led by a team at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU)T appeared in the journal Nature Communications.
Several billion nerve cells communicate with each other in the body so that humans and other living beings can perceive and react to their environment. A host of complex chemical and electrical processes occur within a few milliseconds. Special messenger substances - known as neurotransmitters - are released at the synapses of the nerve cells. They transmit information between the individual nerve cells, explains Dr Carla Schmidt, an assis
