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

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 ...

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 ...

A new method lets researchers visualize messenger RNA translation across different brain cell types. In this image, CA3 pyramidal neurons of the mouse hippocampus glow magenta, indicating especially ...

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while we are resting, according to a new study in mice by University College ...

Detail of a pyramidal cell. Dendrites are red and orange. The axon is blue. Source: Allen Institute for Brain Science Neuroscience got its start more than 100 years ago when Santiago Ramon y Cajal and ...

The mammalian brain is known to produce mental representations of the spatial environment, known as cognitive maps, that help humans and animals navigate their surroundings. A subpopulation of neurons ...
