The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

Images of the nucleus of an excitatory neuron of a control mouse and a mouse in which KDM1A and KDM5C have been simultaneously deleted in the adult brain. The DAPI signal (DNA) is shown in gray, and ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before ...

Interestingly, one neuron type present in CNN, which combines opponency for the cue but excitatory summation for the target at both locations, was not found in the mouse, suggesting that there might ...
