The vertebrate control of locomotion involves all levels of the nervous system from cortex to
the spinal cord. Here, we aim to cover all main aspects of this complex behavior, from the …

Axons are generally considered as reliable transmission cables in which stable propagation
occurs once an action potential is generated. Axon dysfunction occupies a central position in …

Developing networks follow common rules to shift from silent cells to coactive networks that
operate via thousands of synapses. This review deals with some of these rules and in …

Axons of dopaminergic neurons innervate the striatum where they contribute to movement
and reinforcement learning. Past work has shown that striatal GABA tonically inhibits …

Although GABAA receptors are widely distributed at inhibitory synapses on dendrites and
cell bodies of neurons, they also occur in other places, in particular at synapses made on …

Activation of presynaptic ion channels alters the membrane potential of nerve terminals,
leading to changes in transmitter release. To study the relationship between resting potential …

Presynaptic nerve terminals are dynamic structures that release vesicular packages of
neurotransmitter, affecting the activity of postsynaptic cells. This release of transmitter occurs …

Sensory primary afferent fibers, conveying touch, pain, itch, and proprioception, synapse
onto spinal cord dorsal horn neurons. Primary afferent central terminals express a wide …

The amino acid γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in the regulation of the
GnRH neurons. We examined whether GABA depolarizes or hyperpolarizes GnRH neurons …

The gate control theory proposed that the nociceptive sensory information transmitted to the
brain relies on an interplay between the inputs from nociceptive and non-nociceptive …
