In our brain, information is passed from one cell to the next via trillions of synapses. However, optimal data flow is not just about the transfer of information; its targeted inhibition is also a key ...

Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two ...

Inhibitory neurons key to understanding neuropsychiatric disorders Date: November 11, 2010 Source: Baylor College of Medicine Summary: In 1999, researchers identified mutations in a gene called ...

Published in Cell Reports, the work shows how inhibitory synapses are stabilized when the neurotransmitter glutamate triggers stored calcium to be released from the endoplasmic reticulum in neurons.

The present study explored the relationship between inhibitory processing (as indexed by identity negative priming in a letter-naming task), working memory, discourse processing, and cognitive aging ...

How inhibitory neurons increase information transmission under threshold modulation. Cell Reports, 2021; 35 (8): 109158 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109158 ...

Neurotransmitters affect neurons in one of three ways: they can be excitatory, inhibitory, or modulatory. An excitatory transmitter generates a signal called an action potential in the receiving ...

Researchers found that Halicin, an AI-identified drug, effectively inhibited most multidrug-resistant bacteria except ...
