The functional contribution of microglia to normal brain development, healthy brain function,
and neurological disorders is increasingly recognized. However, until recently, the nature of …

In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

The cognitive phenotype of autism has been correlated with an altered balance of excitation
to inhibition in the cerebral cortex, which could result from a change in the number, function …

We describe convergent evidence from transcriptomics, morphology, and physiology for a
specialized GABAergic neuron subtype in human cortex. Using unbiased single-nucleus …

Describes a model in which perception results from excitatory and inhibitory interactions of
detectors for visual features, letters, and words. A visual input excites detectors for visual …

This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from
being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. In a sequence of" cycles," …

Conscious experience is one of the most difficult and thorny problems in psychological
science. Its study has been neglected for many years, either because it was thought to be …

Inhibitory neurons in mammalian cortex exhibit diverse physiological, morphological,
molecular, and connectivity signatures. While considerable work has measured the average …

The problem of the relation between our bodies and our minds, and espe cially of the link
between brain structures and processes on the one hand and mental dispositions and …

The hippocampus is one of a group of remarkable structures embedded within the brain's
medial temporal lobe. Long known to be important for memory, it has been a prime focus of …
