Tactile sensation is one of our primary means to collect information about the nearby environment and thus crucial for daily activities and survival. ......
The mechanotransduction (MT) complex in auditory hair cells converts the mechanical stimulation of sound waves into neural signals. Recently, the MT c......
Noninvasive brain stimulation to enhance cognition is an area of increasing research interest. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a novel accelerated fo......
Speech signals have a unique shape of long-term modulation spectrum that is distinct from environmental noise, music, and non-speech vocalizations. Do......
For decades, a role for the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) in Ca2+-dependent presynaptic modulation of synaptic transmission has been recognize......
Neural networks in the brain can function reliably despite various sources of errors and noise present at every step of signal transmission. These sou......
Experiments in primary culture have helped advance our understanding of the curious phenomenon of cell cycle-related neuronal death. In a differentiat......
Astrocytes play several critical roles in the normal functioning of the mammalian brain, including ion homeostasis, synapse formation, and synaptic pl......
Action video gaming can promote neural plasticity. Short-term monocular patching drives neural plasticity in the visual system of human adults. For in......
Chunking in language comprehension is a process that segments continuous linguistic input into smaller chunks that are in the reader's mental lexicon.......
In vivo two-photon microscopy permits simultaneous recording of the activity of the same neuronal population across multiple sessions in days or weeks......
The dorsal raphe (DR) nucleus contains many tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons which are regarded as dopaminergic (DA) neurons. These DA neuro......
Visual word recognition has been proposed to have a functional and spatial organization corresponding to hierarchical language-like word forms in the ......
Serotonin (5-HT) participates in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but its effects have not been completely clarified. Therefor......
Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) control visual signal transmission in the retina by rapidly removing glutamate released from photoreceptors......
