Cells called astrocytes are about as abundant in the brain as neurons, but scientists have spent much less time figuring out ...

MIT researchers found that astrocytes regulate ambient GABA via Gat3 to support coordinated neural activity in the visual ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Existing three-dimensional (3D) neuronal culture technology has limitations in brain research due to the difficulty of precisely replicating the brain's complex multilayered structure and the lack of ...

New ultra-sensitive optical instruments can detect high-frequency dynamics of neuronal voltage indicators to image brain activity in mice.

A pipette that can activate individual neurons Miniaturized iontronic micropipettes for precise and dynamic ionic modulation of neuronal and astrocytic activity ...

Ultra-thin, high-res sensor records single-neuron activity deep in the brain. Researchers have created an ultra-thin, high-res brain sensor that can record brain activity to a depth of 10 cm/4 in.

Researchers showed that these changes in neuron activity at the PVT were transmitted to the NAc by measuring neural activity with an optical fiber inserted where the terminals of the PVT axons ...
