The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...

How do people think, feel, remember, and move? These processes rely on synaptic transmission, where chemical signals are passed between nerve cells using molecular structures called vesicles.

A new study from Pitt researchers challenges a decades-old assumption in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses distinct transmission sites - not a shared site - to achieve different types of ...
