Neurotransmitters affect neurons in one of three ways: they can be excitatory, inhibitory, or modulatory. An excitatory transmitter generates a signal called an action potential in the receiving ...

Excitatory neurons that increase the activity of connected neurons are balanced by inhibitory neurons that dampen this activity. In this way, excitation and inhibition work together throughout the ...

Key features of autism reflect an imbalance in signaling from excitatory and inhibitory neurons in a portion of the forebrain, and that reversing the imbalance could alleviate some of its hallmark ...

The TFOE enabled integration with patch clamp recording and unveiled cell-type-specific response of excitatory and inhibitory neurons to photoacoustic stimulation. TFOE provides a non-genetic ...

A new study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older.
