In the cerebral cortex, extrinsic and intrinsic excitatory glutamatergic pathways terminate on principal glutamatergic neurons and local inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Activation of these pathways ...
Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...
One of the brain's most celebrated qualities is its adaptability. Changes to neural circuits, whose connections are continually adjusted as we experience and interact with the world, are key to how we ...
Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...
