Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons play a central role in maintaining cortical inhibition and preventing the hypersynchronous neuronal activity that underlies many forms of epilepsy. Disruption in their ...
Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...
Scientists have discovered that junk food can alter brain memory circuits within days. The research hints that early lifestyle interventions might help safeguard memory and prevent long-term cognitive ...
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neurona Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company advancing regenerative cell therapies for disorders of the nervous system, today ...
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a rare and severe form of epilepsy that causes intellectual disability and motor deficits and can lead to premature death. A loss-of-function mutation in one copy of SCN1A, ...
The basal ganglia system is made of interconnected subcortical nuclei involved in voluntary movement, motivational processes and some cognitive processes. Such a system is made of four main nuclei ...
Stroke, the leading cause of adult disability, necessitates new therapeutic strategies informed by a deeper understanding of brain repair mechanisms. This pilot study investigates the role of ...
Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...
