Once they traverse the gap between neurons (synaptic cleft), neurotransmitters interact with excitatory or inhibitory receptors on the receiving cell to generate excitatory or inhibitory signals.

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 ...

Since its introduction to medicine over 180 years ago, general anaesthesia has remained mostly unknown. Even though it is one of the safest medical techniques, we still don't fully understand how ...
