Each time a person undergoes stress the brain releases cortisol hormones. Cortisol binds to glucocorticoid receptors and tells the body to prepare its “fight-or-flight” response. This hormone also ...
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified neurons that are essential for mice to engage in social interactions with novel individuals. These neurons, which are located in the central ...
In this valuable manuscript, authors ablate cerebellar oligodendrocytes during postnatal development and show that synchrony of calcium transients in Purkinje neurons and behaviours are affected even ...
The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...
