Shedding Light on Hippocampus-Amygdala Communication
Shedding Light on Hippocampus-Amygdala Communication - Bazelot et al. dissect synaptic mechanisms orchestrating the information flow from the ventral hippocampus to the amygdala, two regions of the li...
Thalamic Mechanism of Parkinson Disease. Hyper-inhibition of thalamic neurons by the basal ganglia inputs has been proposed as a mechanism for Parkinson's disease. This study shows that rebound firing...
New and Distinct Hippocampal Place Codes Are Generated Without Grid Cell Inputs
New and Distinct Hippocampal Place Codes Are Generated Without Grid Cell Inputs. This Neuron video abstract describes an experiment that used inactivation of the medial septal area to suppress the spa...
In this video, Ira Espuny-Camacho and Pierre Vanderhaeghen describe how human pluripotent stem cells can be turned into cortical pyramidal neurons, mimicking key aspects of human corticogenesis. Most ...
How Brains Filter Familiar Stimuli: The Negative-Image Model for Habituation
Ramaswami proposes a conceptually simple mechanism by which nervous systems may identify and filter familiar or predicted stimuli. He further discusses the importance of this mechanism for higher cogn...
Translaminar Inhibitory Cells Recruited by Layer 6 Cortico-Thalamic Neurons
This Neuron video abstract describes a cortical pathway by which layer 6 cortico-thalamic neurons suppress cortical responses to visual stimuli. These neurons recruit fast-spiking inhibitory cells in ...
Previous genome-wide association studies identified CD33 as a Alzheimer's disease risk gene. Through examination of human samples and mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, Griciuc et al. uncover a nove...
How the Brain Accumulates Evidence during Decision-Making
How the Brain Accumulates Evidence during Decision-Making. Making good decisions requires evidence accumulation, in which newly acquired information is used to update beliefs and select future actions...
Control of Cerebrovascular Networks Formation by Neural Activity
This video summarizes a study from Dr. Chenghua Gu's laboratory at Harvard Medical School, which demonstrates that sensory-related neural activity influences the formation of brain vascular networks d...
Go with your gut feeling | Magnus Walker | TEDxUCLA
The CA1 region consists of heterogeneous pyramidal cells. In this video, Drs. Ivan Soltesz, Sang-Hun Lee, and Ivan Marchionni describe that GABAergic, parvalbumin expressing basket cells preferentiall...
