This important study introduces rationally designed, genetically encoded tools for the selective and reversible ablation of excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The evidence is convincing, supported by ...

Photoreceptor outer segments (OSs) expressed BK and ENaCα intensively and TRAAK, TRPV2, and TRPV4 weakly. Somas and axons of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) retrograde-identified clearly expressed ENaCα ...

It is a congenital condition, which means it is present from birth. In Hirschsprung's disease, certain types of nerve cells (ganglion cells) are missing from a part of the bowel. In areas without such ...

How neurons acquire features distinct to each synapse remains unknown. We show that the transcription factor Mafb drives the formation of auditory ribbon synapses, which are specialized for rapid ...

Medically reviewed by John Carew, MD The greater petrosal nerve branches off of the facial nerve in the skull. Along with a ...
