There are more excitatory synapses than inhibitory synapses, which aligns with a prior study indicating that there are more glutamatergic neurons than GABAergic neurons in the cerebral cortex ...

A study published in Science Signaling on the neural circuitry mediating addiction has made significant strides, particularly ...

The mammalian neocortex is composed of a variety of cell types organized in a highly interconnected circuit. GABAergic neurons account for only about 20% of cortical neurons. However, they show ...

However, our understanding of the DLK-dependent gene network in the central nervous system remains limited. Here, we investigated the roles of DLK in hippocampal glutamatergic neurons using ...

With regard to understanding the disease process in AD, it is of considerable interest to consider the temporal relationship between the loss of cholinergic and glutamatergic neurons. Biochemical ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...

Expert Rev Neurother. 2013;13(9):1041-1059.

This study presents solid evidence for distinct neurotransmitter release modalities between two subclasses of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, highlighting an important finding that ...
