Gamma band oscillations arise in neuronal networks of interconnected GABAergic interneurons and excitatory pyramidal cells. A previous study found a correlation between visual gamma peak frequency, as ...

Two teams discover how small cell lung cancer hijacks neural pathways to proliferate faster, especially to the brain. Common ...

Astrocytes may express ionotropic glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, which allow them to sense and to respond to neuronal activity. However, so far the properties of astrocytes ...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 4, 2021) -- University of Kentucky Department of Neuroscience Professor Greg Gerhardt, Ph.D., hypothesizes that the balance of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) -- two ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have used powerful new brain imaging techniques to reveal a neurochemical imbalance within specific brain areas in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder ...

"It's not intuitive to think the most prevalent receptor for the major neurotransmitter in the brain is also present in the lens," senior investigator Peter Frederikse, PhD, from the University of ...

The two messenger substances glutamate and GABA may play a key role. The ratio between them, the so-called E/I balance, indexes the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neural transmission. The ...

If you struggled with math as a child, blame your neurotransmitters. Researchers have long thought that brain excitement and inhibition levels are related to learning, especially during formative ...

On a diet? Perhaps you’re avoiding sweets or carbs altogether or curbing late-night munchies. These are examples of behavior modifications and when it comes to food, avoiding those diet triggers can ...

The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, very low carbohydrate, and adequate protein regimen. In this diet, cell energy is derived from fatty acid and amino acid oxidation, which generates ketone bodies ...
