A new study reveals how interneurons, brain cells that regulate the firing of other neurons, act as traffic controllers in the hippocampus, a region critical for learning and memory.

Researchers have developed the most detailed 3D computational models of key brain regions, including the hippocampus and ...

We can now collect cell-count data across whole animal brains quantifying recent neuronal activity, gene expression, or anatomical connectivity. This is a powerful approach since it is a multi-region ...

The diversity of interneurons in the central nervous system is striking. Only in the cortex, interneurons account for around 20% of all neurons; most of these cells are GABAergic and are ...
