The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron ... is the balance between the activity of excitatory and inhibitory neurons ...

A groundbreaking study has shown that as children age, excitatory brain activity decreases while inhibitory activity increases, helping shape healthy brain development.

A study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings are ...

The balance between inhibition and excitation ... brings us closer to understanding how the two neuron classes, the ...

The smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped -- a discovery that opens entirely new insights into how our vision works and how it can be affected by disease.

For the first time, the smallest control system of vision in mammals has been mapped—a discovery that opens entirely new ...

Excitatory synapses send signals that encourage the creation of an action potential by the next neuron; inhibitory synapses work against it. Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory and ...

Rantamäki, T., Piepponen, P., Aitta-aho, T. and Partanen, J. ADHD-like behaviors caused by inactivation of a transcription factor controlling the balance of inhibitory and excitatory neuron ...

Brain function is based on a delicate balance of excitatory processes (which make brain cells fire) and inhibitory processes (which stop brain cells firing) – this is known as the E-I balance.
