Researchers have identified how two types of neurons divide the labor to plan and initiate movements.
Human dendrites have different electrical properties from those of other species, a new study reveals. Researchers report electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, allowing small sections of dendrites to behave independently from the rest of the neuron.
Researchers report pyramidal neurons in the basolateral amygdala help us to recognize and categorize foods.
Researchers report the motor cortex is only essential for motor control when movements are executed in response to unexpected sensory feedback.
A new study sheds light on how our brains are constructed. Researchers say the study reveals how the balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the cerebral cortex has remained constant over mammalian evolution.
Researchers have identified a novel role the RGS14 protein plays in limiting synaptic plasticity.
Using stem cells to generate a partial model of the brain, researchers discover how communication between neurons is altered in those with Schizophrenia.
Researchers have developed a new method to identify and monitor the activity of 'quiet' neurons.
Researchers report connections between the hippocampus and a specific type of neuron in the prefrontal cortex are involved in fear relapse. The findings could help in the development of new treatments for PTSD.
Researchers have identified a cellular pathway that encodes memories by strengthening specific neurons.
A new study reveals a diverse array of genetic changes that occur in the brain following sensory experiences.
A highly toxic form of amyloid beta disrupts the normal function of mitochondria, researchers report.
