These findings demonstrate that the history of activity of a cortical neuron helps to determine its intrinsic excitability. This may allow a neuron to adjust the way it transduces synaptic input ...

However, recent studies indicate that different neuronal types adopt distinct modes of migration in the developing cortex. Here, we review evidence for two modes of radial movement: somal ...

So, maintaining cortical neurons in culture for a prolonged time is still challenging. Almost immediately after I started working with neuronal cultures, I was having problems. If I had five plates, ...

Overview: A research group from the Institute for Research on Next-generation Semiconductor and Sensing Science (IRES²) at ...

A Columbia-led study uncovers how gliomas cause seizures and cognitive impairments by disrupting brain activity. Using ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the ...

interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) preferentially encode pain intensity and drive nociceptive-evoked gamma oscillations (GBOs). Published online in Neuron on January 13 ...

This damage leads to worsening disability in diseases such as MS that cause demyelination. However, it's still unclear how this process causes neuron damage. As described in a study published in ...
