They mapped the 3-D atomic structure of a two-part protein complex that controls the release of signaling chemicals, called neurotransmitters, from brain cells.

#Brain cells activated by sound waves For the first time, scientists have controlled directly brain cells using sound waves, in a tiny laboratory worm.

They used ultrasound to trigger activity in specific neurons, causing the worms to change direction.

As well as requiring a particular gene to be expressed in the brain cells, the technique bathes the animals in tiny bubbles to amplify the sound waves.

the researchers argue that their new method for controlling brain cells could improve on"optogenetics","a technique that uses light rather than sound.

A handful of brain cells in the worm naturally express TRP-4, and so"wild-type"worms do react to ultrasound by changing their movement.

The outer part of the network ubeis bordered by a certain type of brain cells, known as stroglialcells,

and ultimately enters the space around the brain cells; and sweeps through it and thereby mixes with the interstitial fluid of the brain which contains waste products.

Parallel experiments in an animal model revealed that removal of this part of the enhancer affected the molecular switch expression only in red blood cells, not in immune or brain cells,

a technology that makes individual brain cells sensitive to light and then activates those targeted populations of cells with flashes of light.

By activating brain cells with drugs and with light, the scientists are getting an unprecedented look at the inner workings of the brain.

In other mice, shining a light directly onto brain cells expressing a light-sensitive protein prompted the release of dopamine,

when brain cells receive signals. Like radio transmitters and receivers, brain cells send and receive transmissions in fine-tuned ways that separate the signals from the noise.

Until recently, most fragile X research has focused on problems with overly sensitive receivers, those that allow in too much information.

geneticist Stephen T. Warren and colleagues at Emory University replicated it in mouse brain cells and tested it for the widely known functions of FMRP.

In other words, the patient brain cells had entirely normal receivers, which appeared to work in ways that were indistinguishable from those in healthy people. his single point mutation does not seem to affect the classical,

Surprisingly, the fruit fly studies indicated that this single mutation increased the number of transmitters in brain cells, implicating a fundamental problem in
