Fast chemical synapses mediate rapid communications between neurons. Interestingly, the strength of most synapses is not constant but dynamic, depending on the history of [...]

TMEM63B is a newly identified mechanosensor that is found in many dorsal root ganglion neurons. Dorsal root ganglion neurons are responsible somatosensation and one aspec [...]

Nervous system development is a highly complex process involving multiple cellular transitions from that of an embryonic pluripotent state to that of a terminally differe [...]

Neurons developed from an initially spherical shape into morphologically complex polarized cells. Neuronal function is closely tied to the establishment of two subdomains [...]
