A new study challenges the neuronal unreliability theory of autism.
Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology research articles can cover research involving whole cell patch-clamp recordings, voltage clamping, current clamping, multielectrode arrays, EEG, brain machine interfaces, field potentials, neural prosthetics, deep brain stimulation, synaptic plasticity and other work.
Researchers recorded alterations in levels of both dopamine and serotonin in the brain when people perform perception and decision making based tasks.
Researchers have linked a group of neurons to a specific type of somatosensation, helping heighten understanding about the sense of touch.
When the soma of specific neurons is active, the dendrites of the same neuron are also active, even when animals are not engaged in a cognitively demanding task.
People with schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders may have a more permissive blood-brain barrier which allows the immune system to become more actively involved in the central nervous system. The resulting inflammation may contribute to the clinical manifestation of psychosis-like symptoms.
A new study reports a gene expressed in the amygdala plays a crucial role in coordinating axon growth and development.
As brain power decreases, older adults find new ways to compute language Older bilingual adults compensate for age-related declines in...
Genetic cues and communication between neurons and progenitors influence the development o the cerebral cortex, a new study reports.
Proteases helps control the navigation of growing axons, a new study reports.
Researchers report neurons in the cerebellum send out their electrical signals either as a constant hum or in sudden bursts, depending on the voltage that crosses their cell membranes.
A new study identifies a key factor in regulating information transmission during the early stages of auditory processing.
Alterations in the excitation and inhibition balance is regulated in the developing brain by astrocytes via the ephrin-B1 protein. The loss of astrocytic ephrin-B1 alters the E/I balance by reducing inhibition, resulting in hyperactivity of neural circuits. The hyperactivity results in reduced sociability in mice.
