Some stubby ones create local circuits using very short branches. Others, for example pyramidal cells, have long, sinewy dendrites that reach toward the top of the brain like broccolini. At the other ...

Understanding how the brain works means mapping how patterns ... patterns across layers—for instance, layer 3 pyramidal cells showed selective targeting of inhibitory subtypes.

The CA3 region of the hippocampus is the major site of sharp wave initiation, and a brain region crucially involved ... the local connectivity between two distinct CA3 cell types: thorny and athorny ...

This study presents important findings on the role of pyramidal cells driving vasoconstriction in brain arteries through a COX-2/PGE2 pathway, with additional contributions from NPY (interneurons) and ...

Circulating OCN also acts on the brain to influence cognition, mood, and stress responses. 3 Multiple roles of OCN/GPR158 in the CNS The diverse effects of GPR158 in tumor cells may stem from ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have upended the decades-old dogma of how connections ...
