This study provides compelling evidence that action potential (AP) broadening is not a universal feature of homeostatic plasticity in response to chronic activity deprivation. By leveraging ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Why does a paper cut hurt for a moment, but a bad knee can ache for years? A study suggests the answer lies deep in the ...

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes linked to mitochondrial stress, suggesting that energy imbalance may play a ...

Nonmodifiable risk factors for DLB include age and family history. Risk increases substantially in individuals with a ...

New research has uncovered that neurons store their own glycogen, acting as “backup batteries” to keep the brain functioning ...

The brain remains highly active during sleep, and mapping this activity can reveal early signs of neurological and sleep ...
