Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) encompasses a group of multifactorial neurodevelopmental
disorders characterized by impaired social communication, social interaction and repetitive …

Summary The Ca 2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was touted as
a memory molecule, even before its involvement in long-term potentiation (LTP) was shown …

Inhibitory synapses dampen neuronal activity through postsynaptic hyperpolarization. The
composition of the inhibitory postsynapse and the mechanistic basis of its regulation …

Hebb postulated that, to store information in the brain, assemblies of excitatory neurons
coding for a percept are bound together via associative long-term synaptic plasticity. In this …

The balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E and I) synapses is thought to be critical for
information processing in neural circuits. However, little is known about the spatial principles …

The formation and maintenance of spatial representations within hippocampal cell
assemblies is strongly dictated by patterns of inhibition from diverse interneuron …

Cellular mechanisms that regulate the interplay of synaptic excitation and inhibition are
thought to be central to the functional stability of healthy neuronal circuits. A growing body of …

As it was established that aging is not associated with massive neuronal loss, as was
believed in the mid‐20th Century, scientific interest has addressed the influence of aging on …

Fluorescence imaging techniques play a pivotal role in our understanding of the nervous
system. The emergence of various super-resolution microscopy methods and specialized …

Inhibitory synapses mediate the majority of synaptic inhibition in the brain, thereby
controlling neuronal excitability, firing, and plasticity. Although essential for neuronal …
