Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the ...

"Inspired by several experimental and theoretical findings highlighting the importance of the balance between excitatory and ...

Parter and her colleagues were able to show that with only one inhibitory neuron, it's impossible, in the context of their model, to enact the winner-take-all strategy. But two inhibitory neurons ...

For one thing, "it throws some doubt on the ability to use the mouse to study certain elements of human function and disease," Lein says. And because rose hip neurons are a type of inhibitory neuron, ...

Deleting a gene called PTEN in certain brain cells disrupts the brain’s fear circuitry and triggers anxiety-like behavior in ...

And because rose hip neurons are a type of inhibitory neuron, they could play a role in mental illness, he says. "These types of cells [inhibitory neurons] are extremely important," he says.

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed a new computational model of a neural circuit in the brain, which could shed light on the biological ...

While temporary changes in inhibitory neuron gene expression have a significant role to play in prenatal stress, there is also evidence that persistent methylation of genes expressed in GABAergic ...

Shift in neuron types observed. The researchers' main finding was a shift in the distribution of neuron types: In the exposed ...

Researchers harvested organoids composed of immature inhibitory neuron precursors to transplant into mice with spinal cord injuries. Photo by Cory Nicholas. Chronic pain and loss of bladder control ...

Alzheimer’s timeline shows neuron changes start as trickle, ... Inhibitory neurons act like the brake in a car by forming connections with nearby excitatory neurons and controlling their activity.
