excitatory projection neurons (magenta) are likely to convey the identity of an odor. The first two neuron types were examined in the study.

Some of the critical questions in the field include: Which proteins are required for excitatory and inhibitory synapse development and what is their mechanism of action? At which specific step in ...

Every neuron can send electrical signals via synapses, the hundreds of pathways between neurons. Neurons send either excitatory signals, which encourages the receiving neuron to continue this ...

they could transcriptomically characterize “inhibitory neurons providing monosynaptic input to five different layer-specific excitatory cortical neuron populations in mouse primary visual cortex ...

There are two main ways that neurons communicate across synapses: excitatory (which promotes the continuation of the ...

When the inhibitory PV neuron is activated in the awake brain, excitatory neurons are inhibited and vasoconstriction is observed (left). In the anesthetized brain, substance P is secreted by the ...

A study published in the journal Neuron, by researchers at the Champalimaud ... influences the organization of these feedback projections, whose functional role remains largely unknown.

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

This important work attempts to establish a causal link between neurotrophin signaling and experience-induced structural plasticity in dopaminergic circuits in the adult fly brain, a topic of broad ...
