The molecular composition of presynaptic and postsynaptic neuronal terminals is dynamic,
and yet long-term stabilizations in postsynaptic responses are necessary for synaptic …

Precise quantitative information about the molecular architecture of synapses is essential to
understanding the functional specificity and downstream signaling processes at specific …

Startle disease (SD) is characterized by enhanced startle responses, generalized muscle
stiffness, unexpected falling, and fatal apnea episodes due to disturbed feedback inhibition …

The diffusion-trapping of protein receptors in post-synaptic regions of a neuron's plasma
membrane plays a key role in determining the strength of synaptic connections and their …

The lateral diffusion and trapping of neurotransmitter receptors within the postsynaptic
membrane of a neuron play a key role in determining synaptic strength and plasticity …

There are many processes in cell biology that can be modeled in terms of particles diffusing
in a two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) bounded domain Ω⊂ R d containing a …

Nonequilibrium cluster-cluster aggregation of particles diffusing in or at the cell membrane
has been hypothesized to lead to domains of finite size in different biological contexts, such …

To faithfully transmit and decode signals released from presynaptic termini, postsynaptic
compartments of neuronal synapses deploy hundreds of various proteins. In addition to …

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are heteropentameric chloride channels that mediate fast
inhibitory neurotransmission in the brainstem and spinal cord, where they regulate motor …
