To expand the understanding of memory, a research team has developed a technology called LCD-eGRASP (local circuit dual-eGRASP) that can label synapses of neural circuits within a specific brain ...

WASHINGTON (June 12, 2020) - Brain function depends on inhibitory cells that balance or 'brake' excitation. These neurons allow the brain to process information and also prevent runaway seizures. A ...

Brain function depends on inhibitory cells that balance or 'brake' excitation. These neurons allow the brain to process information and also prevent runaway seizures. A new study from the George ...

An LSU Health New Orleans research study led by Siqiong June Liu, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy, has found that cerebellar inhibitory interneurons are essential for fear memory, a type of ...

With its breathtaking views and striking stature, the Golden Gate Bridge certainly deserves its title as one of the modern wonders of the world. Its elegant art deco style and iconic towers offer ...

Inhibitory neurons in the aging brain show reduced growth and plasticity, likely contributing to declines in brain function. In a new study in mice researchers show that treatment with fluoxetine ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

Epileptic activity in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease requires the protein tau, and in the October 19 Cell Reports, Lennart Mucke and colleagues at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease, ...

When adult humans and animals severely injure their spinal cord, they become irreversibly paralyzed and are no longer able to move body parts controlled by the section of the spinal cord below their ...

Labeling of intraregional synapses using LCD-eGRASP in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Engram cells (Red), Non-engram cells (White), synapses from activated inhibitory interneurons (yellow), and ...
