Brain wiring diagrams are a first step towards understanding ... branches meet and transmit signals between neurons are ...

At excitatory synapses in the cerebral cortex, the most numerous synapses in our brain, the presynaptic nerve ending contains several tens to a few hundreds of synaptic vesicles filled with the ...

These diagrams have improved our understanding ... and classified these synapse-rich regions into different brain sections. Synapses were assigned to their respective neuropils based on location ...

To understand how these brain cells exchange information through their synapses (junctions to exchange chemical 'messages'), the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain and ...
