Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...
In the cerebral cortex, extrinsic and intrinsic excitatory glutamatergic pathways terminate on principal glutamatergic neurons and local inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Activation of these pathways ...
A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...
Optogenetic climbing fiber activation regulates experience-dependent plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of mice, suggesting a role of the olivo-cerebellum in instructive signaling across ...
The cerebellum (which is Latin for ‘little brain’) is the area of the brain in charge of fine motor coordination and balance, and it keeps our movements smooth and stable by predicting what our next ...
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just mood—it’s biology. Scientists found that the thalamus doesn’t just relay ...
New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing ...
