Our brains contain billions of neurons and trillions of connections, and scientists are only beginning to understand the ...

Cornell researchers found that psilocybin’s therapeutic benefits depend on the pyramidal tract neurons and the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex. Targeting these mechanisms could ...

A new study reveals that microRNAs—tiny regulators of gene expression—play a crucial role in shaping Purkinje cells, rare brain neurons linked to movement and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Psilocybin is the active ingredient that gives so-called "magic mushrooms" their hallucinogenic kick. It also has a therapeutic potential for treating ...

In a study published in Nature Communications on February 12, the pair along with other researchers in the UBC Faculty of ...

Cell polarity is the asymmetric organisation of several cellular components, including its plasma membrane, cytoskeleton or organelles. This asymmetry can be used for specialised functions, such ...

Local architecture practice HW Studio has centred Casa Emma around a lightwell and wrapped its interiors in wood on an infill lot in Morelia, Mexico. Nestled into a small lot – measuring only 4 ...

To test this hypothesis, we used ex vivo and in vivo approaches in combination with optogenetics to precisely control pyramidal cell firing in the mouse barrel cortex while monitoring the resulting ...

The manuscript "Elevated pyramidal cell firing orchestrates arteriolar vasoconstriction through COX-2-derived prostaglandin E2 signaling" by B. Le Gac, et al. investigates mechanisms leading to ...
