The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

In the cerebral cortex, extrinsic and intrinsic excitatory glutamatergic pathways terminate on principal glutamatergic neurons and local inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Activation of these pathways ...

The mammalian brain is known to produce mental representations of the spatial environment, known as cognitive maps, that help humans and animals navigate their surroundings. A subpopulation of neurons ...

A study using Ribo-STAMP technology reveals that protein production in brain cells varies significantly between different types of neurons, offering new insights into autism and memory.

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

7 January 2025, Leuven – Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and ...
