The neurons are mostly connected by excitatory and inhibitory synapses. Whereas the excitatory synapses transmit a signal, ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, validate the hypothesis that the equivalent tuning of excitatory and ...

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 ...

A new study reveals how NREM sleep enhances cognitive performance by synchronizing neural activity and improving information ...
