New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...

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 ...

New research reveals how electrical synapses filter sensory input, helping animals choose actions based on context.

The Hodgkin-Huxley (H-H) theory of the action potential, formulated 50 years ago, remains one of the great success stories in biology, and ranks among the most significant conceptual breakthroughs ...

This excitation, action potential generation and propagation along the afferent fibre and, finally, the release of neurotransmitters at the first synapse in the spinal cord depends on the concerted ..

Synchronized LTS activity required electrical synapses, but not fast chemical ... No filtering or sample reduction was done before action potential correlation. The expected level of correlation ...

The composition of nodes that effectively transmit sinusoidal waves in a model network resembling C. elegans' electrical synapses network changes according to the waves' wavenumber.

The potential molecular mechanisms of excitatory neuronal activation on microglia-mediated ... Furthermore, it decreased EPS and C1q levels in synapses. On the contrary, inhibiting excitatory neurons ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses ...
