Meanings of excitatory neurons in English

Such a feedback inhibition causes both inhibitory and excitatory neurons in the circuit to synchronize.

Notably, coupling was found both between pairs of inhibitory neurons and between inhibitory and excitatory neurons.

These effects include a defect in mossy cells, the major class of excitatory neurons of the hilus.

This restricts inhibition of excitatory neurons, maintaining them in a state that is receptive to future sensory stimuli.

Furthermore, fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons in layer 4 exhibit a shorter window of temporal sensitivity compared with excitatory neurons.

The relative recruitment of inhibitory and excitatory neurons within an area controls the gain of neurons for appropriate stimulus coding.

These results define a tau homeostasis signature that underlies the cellular and regional vulnerability of excitatory neurons to tau pathology.

Visually induced ERK activation occurred primarily in excitatory neurons of layers II-III and VI and was prevented by binocular lid suture.

A number of studies from brain slices reports intrinsically generated persistent firing in cortical excitatory neurons following suprathreshold depolarization by intracellular current injection.

Despite their predominance in cortex, however, significant interactions between excitatory neurons (E) have been hard to detect because of their intrinsic weakness.

Mice lacking NR1 expression in forebrain excitatory neurons exhibited a depression-like phenotype in the same behavioural tests, and did not respond to D-serine treatment.

Further analysis revealed that this neuronal hyperactivity is driven by decreased background inhibition caused by reduced responsiveness of excitatory neurons to GABAergic inhibitory inputs.

These results suggest that COX-2, and its diffusible prostanoid products, may play a role in postsynaptic signaling of excitatory neurons in cortex and associated structures.

Pharmacogenetic experiments in mice show that memory deficits following sleep deprivation can be prevented by specifically boosting cAMP signaling in excitatory neurons of the hippocampus.

Munc13-1 is an active zone protein that plays a vital role in vesicle maturation and the release of neurotransmitters in excitatory neurons.

Excitatory neurons are derived from the dorsal telencephalon, while inhibitory interneurons are generated in its ventral portion.
