In the cerebral cortex, extrinsic and intrinsic excitatory glutamatergic pathways terminate on principal glutamatergic neurons and local inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Activation of these pathways ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

New research from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows that chandelier cells, a specific type of brain cell, become active during unexpected situations. “Researchers have been wondering ...

Ripples maintain time-locked occurrence across the septo-temporal axis and hemispheres while showing local phase coupling, revealing a dual mode of synchrony in CA1 network dynamics.
