Researchers from Utrecht University shed light on the intracellular transport of postsynaptic receptors in neurons In the brain, millions of neurons transfer information with each other through synapses. At the surface of an excitatory postsynapse, receptors need to be inserted with precise timing and location for the correct integration of the incoming signal from a … Read more
