Neuronal activity in the brain gives rise to transmembrane currents that can be measured in
the extracellular medium. Although the major contributor of the extracellular signal is the …

Sleep spindles are extensively studied electroencephalographic rhythms that recur
periodically during non–rapid eye movement sleep and that are associated with rhythmic …

Current understanding of many neural circuits is limited by our ability to explore the vast
number of potential interactions between different cells. We present a new approach that …

Cxs (connexins), the protein subunits forming gap junction intercellular communication
channels, are transported to the plasma membrane after oligomerizing into hexameric …

Information processing within neuronal networks is determined by a dynamic partnership
between principal neurons and local circuit inhibitory interneurons. The population of …

Nodes of Ranvier are regularly placed, nonmyelinated axon segments along myelinated
nerves. Here we show that nodal membranes isolated from the central nervous system …

Electrical synapses are common between inhibitory neurons in the mammalian thalamus
and neocortex. Synaptic modulation, which allows flexibility of communication between …

GABAergic neurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus (nRt) provide thalamocortical relay
neurons with feedback inhibition that influences sensory processing and thalamocortical …

Before the human cortex is able to process sensory information, young postmitotic neurons
must maintain occasional bursts of action-potential firing to attract and keep synaptic …

Aims The pathology of stroke consists of multiple pro‐death processes, and CD 36 has been
suggested as a multimodal target to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in ischemic …
