Brain cells can be broadly divided into two categories: inhibitory and excitatory neurons. Excitatory neurons are cells that support the generation of electrical impulses in postsynaptic neurons, thus ...

FMI researchers have provided new insights into how the brain organizes and processes memories, thanks to a study that looks at the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The paper is ...

The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations. A key objective of neuroscience research has been to delineate the ...

First insights into how excitatory and inhibitory brain signals change as people age using wearable scanner. ScienceDaily. Retrieved June 15, 2026 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 04 / ...

New research demonstrates that inhibitory and excitatory neuronal circuits of the visual system develop through different processes, even if the organization of the mature circuit is similar. These ...

Philadelphia, May 11, 2023 – Dysregulation of the dopamine neurotransmitter system has long been associated with schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis, but recently researchers have begun to ...

A new study details the development of a cerebellum-inspired memtransistor engineered from atomically thin molybdenum disulfide.

When we think about how the brain works—or how to fix it—we tend to think of neurotransmitters such as serotonin or dopamine. But the brain is an electric organ, its currency the impulses that fly ...

A new study has shown how aspects of brain function change with age, revealing that excitatory processes in the brain decrease, while inhibitory processes increase as children get older. The findings ...
