 en Brain Structure and Function\n\nAbstract: Neurotransmitter receptors ar
 e essential in the communication between neurons\, acting as molecular gat
 ekeepers that mediate the transfer of signals across synapses. Their distr
 ibution patterns provide insights into how the brain is structured and ope
 rates on multiple levels—from basic sensory processing to complex cognitiv
 e functions. For example\, receptors separate phylogenetically older regio
 ns (such as the limbic system) from more recently developed areas (like th
 e prefrontal cortex)\, and segregates unimodal\, multimodal and associatio
 n areas. Furthermore\, receptor architecture distinguishes between functio
 nal networks\, and also reflects hierarchical processing levels within a g
 iven functional system. Concluding\, whereas the brain’s cytoarchitecture 
 (the arrangement of neuronal cells) and myeloarchitecture (the distributio
 n of myelinated fibers) define its physical structure\, it is the receptor
 s that help integrate this structure with the brain’s functional capabilit
 ies.\n\nNicola Palomero-Gallagher\n\nAssociate Professor\, Institute of Ne
 uroscience and Medicine (INM-1)\, Research Centre JĂĽlich\n\nNicola Palomer
 o-Gallagher obtained her Master’s degree in Biology from the Universidad A
 utĂłnoma of Madrid\, Spain. She is a Senior Researcher and Leader of the 'R
 eceptors' research group at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (IN
 M-1)\, Research Centre JĂĽlich\, Germany\, and an Associate Professor at th
 e C. & O. Vogt-Brain Research Institute of DĂĽsseldorf University\, Germany
 . Her research aims to shed light on the relationship between the structur
 al (cyto- and fiber-architecture)\, molecular (receptor-architecture) and 
 functional organizational principles of the brain.\n
