Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

To expand the understanding of memory, a research team has developed a technology called LCD-eGRASP (local circuit dual-eGRASP) that can label synapses of neural circuits within a specific brain ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have uncovered how problems in cortical microcircuits in the brain can trigger epileptic seizures. The researchers say that targeting the ...

One hypothesis for the death of motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is that the neurons become hyperexcited, firing overtime and ultimately being poisoned by their own activity (Rao ...

An LSU Health New Orleans research study led by Siqiong June Liu, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy, has found that cerebellar inhibitory interneurons are essential for fear memory, a type of ...

A new study reveals how interneurons, dubbed 'the butterflies of the soul,' emerge and diversify in the brain. The findings may help inform the development of new classes of drugs for diseases such as ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia – cells that support the functioning of the brain – can be reprogrammed into cells resembling interneurons. The research, published in Science ...

Researchers in Okinawa set out to discover the neural basis of how we switch our behavior when situations change. The post How feeling disappointed alters our brains appeared first on Talker.

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.

Labeling of intraregional synapses using LCD-eGRASP in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). Engram cells (Red), Non-engram cells (White), synapses from activated inhibitory interneurons (yellow), and ...
