Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: Certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A ...

The histamine H 3 receptor typically becomes active upon binding to one of its agonists, such as histamine itself. This, in turn, gives way to intracellular interactions with compounds known as ...

An international team of Human Brain Project (HBP) researchers has mapped out neurotransmitter receptors across the macaque brain, defining key organizational principles in the brain, and revealing a ...

Plants are continuously evolving new immune receptors to ever-changing pathogens. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) have traced the origin and evolutionary ...
