Sleep's role to down-scale glutamate, excitatory, frontal cortical synapses is extended to include an up-scaling of metaplastic LTP potential, in recovery from prolonged waking induced saturation of ...

A study published in Science Signaling on the neural circuitry mediating addiction has made significant strides, particularly in understanding the intricat | Neuroscience ...

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of ...

This important study shows that the activity of hypothalamic hypocretin/orexin neurons (HONs) correlates with body movement over multiple behaviors. Sophisticated techniques and analyses showcase this ...

Sugar-responsive neurons encode and influence only sugar-related memories and intake. Disabling these neurons reduces sugar consumption and prevents weight gain in mice.

With regard to understanding the disease process in AD, it is of considerable interest to consider the temporal relationship between the loss of cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons. Biochemical ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

A new study has identified a group of neurons that, when activated, can induce a hypometabolic state, akin to hibernation. The discovery could have far-reaching implications for conditions like ...

Comparatively, chemogenetic induction of glutamatergic HPC neurons led to inhibition of food intake for 24 hours. Impaired HPC function can also increase the risk of obesity. Although the role of ...

Everything may die, nothing may be regenerated,” he wrote. The inability of adults to produce new neurons was pretty much the central dogma of neuroscience until the 1960s. But as with a lot of ...
