The hippocampus is a key brain region involved in memory formation and spatial orientation. It transforms short-term memories ...

Its pyramidal neurons (PNs) form the largest known autoassociative network in nature, an immense matrix of memories that can ...

Neurons filled with biocytin—a tracer that labels them during recording—are fixed and stained to allow full reconstruction of ...

Layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a critical role in integrating and distributing information across neural circuits in the brain. These neurons are found in the outer layers of the brain and are ...

Scientists have watched a molecule move across a graphite surface in unprecedented detail. It turns out this particular molecule moves like a Moon lander -- and the insights hold potential for future ...

Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) in neocortical pyramidal neurons are increased in duration and amplitude at depolarized membrane potentials. This effect was not due to changes in the time ...
