Auditory Closed-Loop Stimulation of Sleep Slow Oscillations
Slow oscillations play a causal role in the consolidation of memory during sleep. In this video, Hong-Viet Ngo and Jan Born describe how they synchronized the presentation of auditory clicks to the br...
Long-Term Synaptic Depression Triggered by Microglia
Zhang et al. discovered that microglial cells sense inflammatory stimuli and hypoxia in the brain via complement receptor 3 and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidase. The diffusion of...
