… activity between those regions by shining light on neurons that form the connection. To test the mice’s ability … virus (AAV)-mediated expressions of light-sensitive inhibitory opsin, archaerhodopsin (Arch). The blue staining …

… were influencing this.” In their study, researchers traced neurons projecting from the anterior cingulate cortex (right, … M2 Takeuchi and the team also noticed populations of neurons that responded preferentially to positive outcomes … that what the ACC is actually doing is stimulating inhibitory cells in M2 that normally modulate the activity of …

… the chance to better understand how different kinds of neurons are contributing to behavior, perception and memory, … measures track the rapid voltage changes, or spikes, that neurons exhibit as they communicate in circuits, a phenomenon … from electrophysiology whether a neuron was excitatory or inhibitory. That’s because they only analyzed the difference …

… MIT neuroscientist Kay Tye found specific populations of neurons that assign good or bad feelings , or “valence,” to … how valence-processing circuitry is organized and how key neurons in those circuits interact with others. What they … their association with negative valence, had a very strong inhibitory effect on neighbors, while nucleus accumbens …

… areas of the brain and thereby alter the excitatory or inhibitory drive that neurons are receiving in a more point-to-point fashion,” Sur … will come,” Sur says. The researchers also found that the neurons that generate this noradrenaline signal appear to …

… at scales including the individual connections between neurons , called synapses ; across groups of synapses on each … completely. 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 …
