In our examination of the AES3 digital audio signal, the only bit left to discuss is channel status. A channel status bit is carried in timeslot 30 for each of the two audio channels. The channel ...

A key component of the receptor-evoked Ca 2+ signal is activation of a Ca 2+-influx channel at the plasma membrane in response to depletion of Ca 2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, the so-called store ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Mutated variants of a particular ion channel cause difficult-to-treat epilepsy. A study published in the journal Nature now shows that a commonly used anesthetic drug, propofol, can restore the ...

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals which allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across synapses. They are also found at the axon endings of motor neurons, where they stimulate ...

Similar to passengers on an urban transit system, every protein made in the cell has a specific destination and function. Channels in cell membranes help direct these proteins to their appropriate ...

A study conducted by researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience uncovers critical aspects of calcium channel function, overturning prevailing theories that explain variability in ...
