The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells (neurons) that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected ...

A new study reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more quickly than earlier ones, allowing them to catch up and integrate evenly into neural networks.

Excitatory neurons increase activity, while inhibitory neurons prevent cells from firing too much. • Published in Nature Neuroscience: A team at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence ...

A study from the Max Planck Institute reveals that inhibitory neurons born later in development mature more rapidly to keep ...

The human brain is made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons, that communicate with each other in vast, interconnected networks. For the brain to ...

Technical Terms Opponent inhibition: A process where balanced excitatory and inhibitory signals interact to enhance contrast and directional selectivity in neural circuits.

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

A new study published in Neuropsychopharmacology sheds light on how heroin exposure alters brain function related to social ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Groups of excitatory and inhibitory neurons can form coherent oscillations, brain-wave rhythms, the collective dance of billions of neurons whose frequencies depend on cellular time constants and the ...

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...
