Foreign media: Chinese scientists have successfully captured the "kiss-retract-run" communication process between neurons using the world's first cryo-electron microscopy technology with nanometer resolution and millisecond imaging speed.
This technology allows researchers to freeze the moment of neurotransmitter transmission and clearly observe the complete dynamic process of synaptic vesicles (tiny sacs that store neurotransmitters). This achievement has resolved a half-century debate in the field of neuroscience regarding the mechanism of synaptic vesicle release.
The study was led by biologists from the University of Science and Technology of China and the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, and the findings were published in the journal "Science."
