When learning a new task, brain activities alter over time as mice transition to an expert from a novice. The changes are reflected in neural networks and neural activity. As the animal's knowledge grows, neural networks become more focused.
Researchers have identified a new type of human neuron which they have dubbed the 'rosehip neuron'. The newly discovered cells are inhibitory neurons which may only be found in human and primate brains.
Researchers have developed a new method to identify and monitor the activity of 'quiet' neurons.
By capturing a cell by cell view of seizures propagating through a mouse brain, researchers discovered neurons fire in a sequential pattern, regardless of how quickly the seizure occurs. The findings confirm seizures are not a result of neurons going haywire.
Researchers identify the wiring process of inhibitory neurons implicated in a number of neurological disorders.
Researchers have developed a new computational model that could help shed light on the role of inhibitory neurons.
Inhibitory neurons form neural networks that become broader as they mature, a new study reports.
A new study reports the loss of mGluR5 receptors in the brain could be responsible for the development of autism and schizophrenia.
A new study questions standing theories on how the brain absorbs and processes information.
Disruptions in an inhibitory brain circuit between the thalamus and prefrontal cortex may underlie cognitive disorders such as schizophrenia.
Researchers observe inhibitory neurons which link olfaction with cognition and memory in mice.
VIP interneurons specialize in inhibiting other inhibitory neurons in multiple regions of the cerebral cortex under specific behavioral conditions, a new study shows.
