The regulation of neuronal excitability and the maintenance of an appropriate balance between excitation and inhibition are central to brain function. Inhibitory synaptic transmission, predominantly ...

Balanced synaptic inhibition, controlled by multiple synaptic adhesion proteins, is critical for proper brain function. MDGA1 (meprin, A-5 protein, and receptor protein-tyrosine phosphatase mu [MAM] ...

For decades, dopamine has been celebrated in neuroscience as the quintessential "reward molecule"—a chemical herald of pleasure, motivation, and reinforcement. In popular understanding, higher ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
