Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that causes intellectual disability and motor deficits and can lead to premature death. A loss-of-function mutation in one copy of SCN1A, ...
Stroke, the leading cause of adult disability, necessitates new therapeutic strategies informed by a deeper understanding of brain repair mechanisms. This pilot study investigates the role of ...
Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle movement, but these signals typically pass through spinal interneurons before they reach their destination. How the brain and this highly ...
Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function. Signals relayed to motor neurons from the brain enable muscle ...
Summary: Researchers identified a crucial role of specific interneurons in brain development. The research identified two types of interneurons, SST+ and PV+, which orchestrate the transition from ...
ABSTRACT: Partial epilepsies, originating in a specific brain region, affect about 60% of adults with epilepsy. Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most prevalent subtype within this category, often ...
A novel variant in KCNC2—a gene encoding the potassium channel subunit Kv3.2—was identified in a patient with childhood-onset epilepsy and developmental disability. The variant channel exhibits ...
An LSU Health New Orleans research study led by Siqiong June Liu, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy, has found that cerebellar inhibitory interneurons are essential for fear memory, a type of ...
