It was accidentally discovered that the brain's synaptic connections keep the password young

Neurons communicate through fast electrical signals, which regulate the release of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers of the brain

However, even in the absence of electrical impulses, some neurotransmitter-filled droplets will be released on the synapse

But some studies have shown that minis does have a function, and it is an important function

To assess whether minis can play a role in the mature nervous system, McCabe's postdoctoral fellow Soumya Banerjee and his colleagues set out to study a series of neurons that control movement in fruit flies

Next, the research team evaluated the effects of stimulating or inhibiting evoked and miniature neurotransmission

The researchers found that neurotransmission induced by stimulus alone had no effect on aging synapses

The findings published in the journal Nature Communications may have important effects on human health: micro-neurotransmission defects have been found in every type of synapse studied so far, and micro-neurotransmission defects are related to children Related to a series of neurodevelopmental disorders

Miniature neurotransmission is required to maintain Drosophila synaptic structures during ageing
