Neurons that synthesize and release 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) express a core
set of genes that establish and maintain this neurotransmitter phenotype and distinguish …

Colocalization of small-molecule and neuropeptide transmitters is common throughout the
nervous system of all animals. The resulting co-transmission, which provides conjoint …

Sleep promotes memory consolidation in humans and many other species, but the
physiological and anatomical relationships between sleep and memory remain unclear …

Dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) play crucial roles in
motivational control of behaviors, and their activity is regulated directly or indirectly via …

Although ionotropic glutamate receptors and nicotinic receptors for acetylcholine (ACh) have
usually been studied separately, they are often co-localized and functionally inter …

Co-transmission of multiple neurotransmitters from a single neuron increases the complexity
of signaling information within defined neuronal circuits. Superficial short-axon cells in the …

Here, we present and discuss the characteristics and properties of neurotransmitter
segregation, a subtype of neurotransmitter cotransmission. We review early evidence of …

Vesicular transporter proteins are an essential component of the presynaptic machinery that
regulates neurotransmitter storage and release. They also provide a key point of control for …

Modern science is characterized by integration and synergy between research fields.
Accordingly, as technological advances allow new and more ambitious quests in scientific …

There is still much unknown regarding the computational role of inhibitory cells in the
sensory cortex. While modeling studies could potentially shed light on the critical role played …
