The work of Ren et al. 3 suggests both a new inhibitory function and its surprising cellular mechanism. Further studies will be illuminating. Are there actually synaptic triads with specialized ...

A study led by Dr. Marco Bocchio in the Durham University Department of Psychology reveals how specific brain cells called ...

which connect the central nervous system to the body’s organs and tissues, interneurons form connections between neurons. The majority of interneurons are inhibitory, meaning they dampen the ...

Other signals are inhibitory, meaning they decrease the activity of the neurons that receive the signal. The interneurons seen here release a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), ...

Suppressing striatal cholinergic interneurons or administering the muscarinic antagonist Procyclidine significantly reduces tremors caused by nicotine withdrawal. The sources of photos and ...
