Amyloid beta has been implicated in blocking endocannabinoids in the hippocampus; impairing learning and memory long before Alzheimer's plaques form in the brain.
Researchers report FLRT proteins guide precursors of pyramidal cells during neurodevelopment.
Researchers have produced a detailed map of cortical cells types and gene activity within them. They also report identifying a number of previously unknown cell types.
A new study reports somatostatin neurons regulate synaptic activity in the neocortex.
A discovery about pyramidal neurons in the CA3 area of the hippocampus could help researchers develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other age related memory loss problems.
Researchers have identified alterations in neural circuitry that impact cerebral cortex pathology. These alterations could be key to cognitive deficits in Down syndrome.
Researchers track real time brain activity in mice to gain better insight into how the brain stores and organizes information.
Researchers report the contact points between specific neuron types are clustered in groups on the target neuron.
Researchers combine functional connectivity analysis and network modeling to investigate synaptic mechanisms of pattern completion in hippocampal CA3 network.
Researchers have successfully transplanted embryonic neurons into damaged neural networks, a new study reports.
Researchers have created detailed 3D models of pyramidal cells from the neocortex using anatomical data from human cells.
A new study reveals the role basket cells play in navigation.
