After release, the neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic gap and attaches to the receptor site on the other neuron. It can either have an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the receiving neuron ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, validate the hypothesis that the equivalent tuning of excitatory and ...

The gene neuropilin2 encodes a receptor involved in cell-cell ... disrupting the delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory signals in the brain. "This imbalance leads to autism-like ...

IN the light-adapted state, the receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells in the cat consist of excitatory and inhibitory areas. Thus predominantly excitatory and inhibitory pathways converging ...

One main class of these drugs, which includes propofol and the ether-derivative sevoflurane, work primarily by increasing the activity of inhibitory GABAA receptors, while a second class that includes ...

The gene neuropilin2 encodes a receptor involved in cell-cell ... highlight how a single gene can influence both the excitatory and inhibitory systems in the brain. We show that disrupting ...

The precise interplay between excitatory and inhibitory influences that exist at a spinal level are being dissected out using behavioral, neurophysiological (spinal dorsal horn, medullary and thalamic ...

Most excitatory synapses use the neurotransmitter L-glutamate, which activates specific receptor channels in the postsynaptic membrane. Molecularly and functionally different glutamate-activated ...
