… 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 …
