Excitatory neurons are cells that support the generation of electrical impulses in postsynaptic neurons, thus prompting the ...

When Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce died in 2019, his death was ruled a sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, otherwise ...

A Columbia-led study uncovers how gliomas cause seizures and cognitive impairments by disrupting brain activity. Using ...

Researchers found that random brain fluctuations actually strengthen memory by stabilizing neural activity over time. The ...

Neurons come in two main “flavors,” excitatory and inhibitory. When an excitatory neuron receives enough input from other excitatory neurons, it fires, passing that signal along its axon to partners ...

By analyzing genetic markers, he identified three distinct cell types in the SFO: one set of excitatory cells, one set of inhibitory cells, and a third population of supporting cells known as ...
