Researchers at IN-CSIC/UMH in Spain corrected a single gene’s expression in one population of amygdala neurons in adult mice ...

Your brain is carrying more spare wiring than anyone suspected. In a study that upended a long-standing assumption in ...

Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other areas ...

Neurons, also known as nerve cells, send and receive signals throughout your nervous system. While neurons have a lot in common with other types of cells, they’re structurally and functionally unique.

Impact Statement: Most current deep neural networks consist of the basic framework of convolution and multilayer perceptron, which lack biological plasticity. Designing a novel network framework that ...

Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system and is characterized by abnormal hypersensitivity to stimuli and nociceptive responses to non-noxious stimuli, ...

Scientists have watched a molecule move across a graphite surface in unprecedented detail. It turns out this particular molecule moves like a Moon lander – and the insights hold potential for future ...

Rodent studies have demonstrated that synaptic dynamics from excitatory to inhibitory neuron types are often dependent on the target cell type. However, these target cell-specific properties have not ...

Abstract: We report a computational algorithm that uses an inverse modeling scheme to infer neuron position and morphology of cortical pyramidal neurons using spatio-temporal extracellular action ...

Synaptic plasticity is believed to be a key mechanism underlying learning and memory. We developed a phenomenological N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-based voltage-dependent synaptic plasticity ...

ABSTRACT: In researches that examine neuroplasticity, many studies that are performed directly on isolated neurons in the pyramidal cells of CA1 area (CA1) and slices of the hippocampus indicate that ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is the site of action potential (AP) initiation, thus a crucial regulator of neuronal activity. In excitatory pyramidal neurons, the high density of voltage-gated sodium ...
