After Golgi–Cajal mapped neural circuits, the discovery and mapping of the central
monoamine neurons opened up for a new understanding of interneuronal communication …

Serotonin is a major modulator of behavior in vertebrates and invertebrates and deficiencies
in the serotonergic system account for several behavioral disorders in humans. The small …

The generation of spikes by neurons is energetically a costly process and the evaluation of
the metabolic energy required to maintain the signaling activity of neurons a challenge of …

Mixed electrical-chemical synapses potentially complicate electrophysiological
interpretations of neuronal excitability and connectivity. Here, we disentangle the impact of …

Serotonin, a modulator of multiple functions in the nervous system, is released
predominantly extrasynaptically from neuronal cell bodies, axons and dendrites. This paper …

Vestibular-afferent neurons (VANs) transmit information about linear and angular
accelerations during head movements from vestibular end organs to vestibular nuclei. In …

The integration of synaptic signalling in the mammalian hippocampus underlies higher
cognitive functions such as learning and memory. We have studied the gap junction …

The use of spikes to carry information between brain areas implies complete or partial
synchronization of the neurons involved. The degree of synchronization reached by two …

Electrical synapses are formed by two unrelated gap junction protein families, the primordial
innexins (invertebrates) or the connexins (vertebrates). Although molecularly different …

Based on the Hodgkin-Huxley model, this study explored the energy efficiency of BA
network, ER network, WS network, and Caenorhabditis elegans neural network, and …
