Scientists map prominent differences in the neural circuits of mice, monkeys, and human. The analysis of the human brain is a central goal of neuroscience. However, for methodological reasons, ...

Signals from the world (electromagnetic waves, pressure, chemicals etc) are converted to electrical activity in sensory neurons and processed by neuronal networks in the brain. Insects sense smells ...

Interneurons make up 25% of human cortical neurons, but their developmental origins remain mysterious. Two recent papers provide evidence suggesting that, in humans, as in mice, most cortical ...

The analysis of the human brain is a central goal of neuroscience. However, for methodological reasons, research has largely focused on model organisms, in particular the mouse. Now, neuroscientists ...

Researchers have discovered a new crosstalk between the migrating inhibitory interneurons and the stem cells that generate the excitatory neurons. The researchers discovered that this cellular ...

Interneuron, Zwischenneuron, allg. Bez. für alle Nervenzellen (Neuron), die von anderen Neuronen Input erhalten und die empfangenen Signale nach Verarbeitung an naheliegende Nervenzellen weiterleiten.

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, ...
