A new MIT study finds that somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a unique trajectory when forming connections in the brain’s visual cortex that may help establish the conditions needed for sensory ...
A team led by the UAB Institut de Neurociències (INc-UAB) has for the first time identified the mechanism behind a potentially fatal type of epilepsy, a symptom of mitochondrial diseases. The ...
This work is a important resource for hypothesis testing of candidate upstream transcriptional regulatory factors that control the spatiotemporal expression of selector genes and their targets for ...
Summary: Scientists have identified a previously unknown group of inhibitory neurons defined by the adhesion molecule Kirrel3. These neurons receive input from dentate granule cells and project ...
To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...
Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have discovered how loss of a gene strongly associated with autism and macrocephaly (large head size) rewires circuits and alters ...
Multi area RNN models fitted to in-vivo cortical activity predict behavioral changes induced by optogenetic perturbations, if biologically informed connectivity constraints on the optogenetically ...
Approximately 75% of epilepsy cases emerge in childhood, and 10%–30% of these pediatric epilepsy cases are resistant to standard drug therapies; however, the underlying causes of resistance remain ...
