… 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 …

… among neurons. Yet another theory focuses on the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, suggesting that reduced … how neurons forge and edit their circuit connections, or “synapses,” to enable the brain to flexibly respond to … receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate at excitatory synapses. This doesn’t immediately explain why a deficit …

… Sur for developing technologies to image brain cells, synapses and circuits and applying them innovatively to … research employing two-photon microscopy to reveal how synapses, or the connections between neurons, change in the … cells and investigated roles for neuromodulatory inputs to inhibitory and excitatory neurons in shaping cortical …

… is enabled by circuits comprised of excitatory and inhibitory neurons along with astrocytes, which are wired … by mechanisms of learning and memory. Abnormal wiring of synapses and circuits lies at the core of many brain … His laboratory has discovered core functional rules of inhibitory-excitatory neuronal circuits in the cerebral …

… In plasticity, the connections between neurons, or synapses, get stronger or weaker. Nedivi wanted to know how. … neural growth. CPG2 expression regulates receptors at the synapses of glutamate-producing neurons. CPG2 also happens to … imaging to allow simultaneous and distinct imaging of inhibitory and excitatory synapses in real time in live mice. …

… was why one type of neuron makes stronger connections, or synapses, than the other. Littleton’s lab extracted RNA from … difference was the relative abundance of specific types of inhibitory neurons. A "UMAP" showing the categorical …

… call “plasticity,” begins with the connections, or “synapses,” that neurons form with each other. In her talk … happen by individually labeling different types of synapses under the microscope and tracking how they come and … or cemented, and how cells appear to fleetingly form inhibitory synapses next to permanent excitatory ones perhaps …
