A new study provides the first detailed map of how sensory and motor circuits interact in the zebra finch brain, offering insights into how songbirds learn and refine their songs.

Scientists have discovered that a specific type of brain cell, called an astrocyte, may be a key player in how cannabis influences the developing brain. Their new research in mice, published in ...

Whereas pyramidal neuronal activity results in cortical activation and desynchronization, inhibitory interneurons that express somatostatin (SOM) are involved in the generation and propagation of slow ...

We thank Professor John L. Rubenstein for his comments, suggestions, and edits. We are grateful to Professor Hua Han for sharing the Rbpj floxed mice, and Professor Jean M. Hebert for sharing ...

Following treatment, the AAV-Navβ1 vector successfully expressed the β1 subunit protein in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Mice treated on the second day of life experienced fewer and ...

Meanwhile, the inhibitory synaptic ratio of RSA-L2/3 to RSG-L2/3 is ... Utilizing the statistical differences in data of synapse, PV and SST expressing interneurons from the same brain region between ...

In the primary visual cortex (V1) of mice, synapses between excitatory pyramidal neurons and inhibitory parvalbumin-expressing (PV) interneurons tend to be stronger for neurons that respond to similar ...
