B. RENSHAW 1 has shown that part of impulses from the motoneurones is not directed to the muscles; it spreads by way of a branch of the motoneurone axon through an inhibitory interneurone and then ...

Aberrant synapse development can have pathological consequences for circuit function as demonstrated by the manifestation of devastating neurological impairments, including epilepsy and autism ...

Now, Nugent et al. show that dopaminergic activity in VTA neurons is modulated by long-term potentiation (LTP) of inhibitory synapses, and that LTP is blocked by a single dose of morphine ...

Excitatory synapses send signals that encourage the creation of an action potential by the next neuron; inhibitory synapses work against it. Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory and ...

Complementary, inhibitory synapses account for the long-lasting stability of excitatory synaptic modifications, providing the ...

Synapses come in two flavors: excitatory, which promotes information propagation through neuronal networks, and inhibitory, which prevents it. One cause of seizures is a disruption to the balance of ...
