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

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 ...

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

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, ...

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 ...

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.

In March 2017, researchers at Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) published a study in Neuron that challenges that idea, demonstrating that inhibitory neurons participate in ...

“We all have inhibitory neurons and excitatory neurons,” says Bakken, “but this particular type of inhibitory neuron is what’s new in this study.

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 ...

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.
