Brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system, are all made of neurons, that form complex networks to communicate with each other through electrical structure that are carried by chemicals. These chemicals bind to structures on the surface of neurons that are called neuroreceptors, opening or closing electrical pathways that allow transmission of the signal from neuron to neuron. One neuroreceptor, called 5HT3-R, is involved in conditions like chemotherapy-induced nausea, anxiety, ...Monday 4 August 2014
3-D Structure of A Key Neuroreceptor Studied
Brain, spinal cord and overall nervous system, are all made of neurons, that form complex networks to communicate with each other through electrical structure that are carried by chemicals.
