Measuring the neurodevelopmental trajectory of excitatory-inhibitory balance via visual gamma oscillations. Imaging Neuroscience, 2025; 3 DOI: 10.1162/imag_a_00527 ...

Brain function is based on a delicate balance of excitatory processes (which make brain cells fire) and inhibitory processes (which stop brain cells firing)—this is known as the E-I balance ...

Excitatory (E) and inhibitory (I) neurons are known to work together in so-called E/I assemblies, but how these assemblies stabilize memory storage and facilitate learning remained unclear.

Since interneurons play such critical roles in transmitting pain signals, it is thought that some chronic forms of pain are due to an imbalance in excitatory and inhibitory signals carried by ...

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 ...

Ohio State University researchers have found that deleting a copy of the autism-risk gene Arid1b from specific brain cells decreased the number of inhibitory cells and lowered signaling between ...

This imbalance leads to autism-like behaviors and an increased risk of seizures. Our study results highlight how a single gene can influence both the excitatory and inhibitory systems in the brain.

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. The ...

La Jolla, CA - Neurons in the brain and spinal cord come in two flavors, excitatory neurons that transmit and amplify signals, and inhibitory neurons that inhibit and refine those signals ...
