Study reveals the role the mouse gene Ophn1 plays in helpless behaviors and identified three methods in which to reverse the effect.
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.
A new map of the basal ganglia provides a blueprint of the structure of the brain region and reveals a new level of influence connected to this area.
Study identifies genes that become activated in the brain prior to the initiation of severe repetitive behaviors associated with addiction, ASD, and schizophrenia.
An increase in theta oscillations in the hippocampus help make learning and subsequent memory more efficient.
Study details a signaling pathway that prevents the overproduction of snRNPs when they are not required.
Over-expression of the synaptic protein RAPGEF2 drives synaptic loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Some neurons have the ability to detect and compensate for neighboring neurons, while others do not. The findings shed new light on synaptic plasticity.
Mentally and physically demanding tasks trigger functional hypoxia across the brain. This oxygen shortage activates Epo, which stimulates the growth of new neurons and synapses.
A newly developed light-activated protein allows researchers to study single synapses of a neuron.
Specific patterns of frontal brainwaves during everyday memory tasks help researchers to predict a patient's risk for developing mild cognitive impairment within five years.
A set of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus have been implicated in canceling planned behaviors or actions.
Study reports a pervasive neuromodulation system strongly influences sound processing in a key auditory region of the brain. Findings suggest acetylcholine may assist in the brain's ability to distinguish speech from other noise.
