… about the movies lab mice were seeing. GABA is a common inhibitory neurotransmitter that sharpens neural activity and … still shared GABA through their direct connections, or “synapses,” as before, meaning their direct dialogue with each …

… how the strength of connections between neurons, or synapses, mature and how that depends on the molecular … has been looking at microscope images tracking how inhibitory interneurons innervate the visual cortex of mice … the lab hopes to improve understanding of the role of inhibitory circuitry in the experience-dependent changes, or …

She’s found that even in adult animal brains, inhibitory synapses will transiently appear or disappear to … her research has shown that amid monocular deprivation , inhibitory neurons go so far as to pare down their axons to …

… and each one may directly contact as many as 100,000 “synapses”—the circuit connections neurons forge with each … chemicals that facilitate communication across synapses. They also grasp blood vessels to help regulate … to disrupt how astrocytes maintain the supply of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in neurons of the visual …
