Beta and gamma inhibitory rhythms are preferentially tuned to govern synaptic integration in layer 5 pyramidal neurons by ...

What makes the human brain so unique? A clue might come from a recent study that reports the discovery of new brain cells: novel neurons ...

Summary: Scientists have identified a previously unseen layered organization inside one of the brain’s most important memory hubs. The CA1 region of the hippocampus was found to contain four distinct ...

A new study published in Psychiatry Research provides evidence that certain brain cells are physically smaller in individuals with schizophrenia and that this size difference is related to the ...

Lab-grown “reductionist replicas” of the human brain are helping scientists understand fetal development and cognitive disorders, including autism. But ethical questions loom. Brain organoids, which ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

7 January 2025, Leuven – Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Summary: Layer 5 pyramidal neurons, crucial for brain information processing, vary significantly in their synaptic protein composition based on neuron type. Research shows that intratelencephalic (IT) ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...
