Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they unexpectedly found new information about a protein's special role in getting ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

New research reveals this inconsistency may be due to a feedback loop between the thalamus and somatosensory cortex, where thalamic input subtly changes how sensitive cortical neurons are to incoming ...

UNIGE researchers have identified a feedback loop from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex that modulates touch ...

Sometimes a gentle touch feels sharp and distinct, other times it fades into the background. This inconsistency isn’t just ...

For example, the release of neurotransmitters “from presynaptic neurons” (Newman, 2003, p. 536) leads to an increase in calcium ions in nearby glial cells, which can activate glia.

They showed that h-channels modulate subthreshold membrane potential dynamics and firing patterns, and pinpointed the role of these channels in promoting the transfer of theta frequencies from ...
