The amygdala is a limbic brain region that plays a key role in emotional processing,
neuropsychiatric disorders, and the emotional‐affective dimension of pain. Preclinical and …

The cerebellum is essential for the control, coordination, and learning of movements, and for
certain aspects of cognitive function. Purkinje cells are the sole output neurons in the …

Adolescence represents a particularly vulnerable period during which exposure to stressors
can precipitate the onset of psychiatric disorders and addiction. The basolateral amygdala …

Somatosensory thalamocortical (TC) neurons from the ventrobasal (VB) thalamus are
central components in the flow of sensory information between the periphery and the …

Key points Neurones of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) contain a molecular clock that
drives these cells to exhibit daily rhythms in electrical activity. The molecular clock may also …

The Golgi cells are the main inhibitory interneurons of the cerebellar granular layer.
Although recent works have highlighted the complexity of their dendritic organization and …

Discovering the rules of synaptic plasticity is an important step for understanding brain
learning. Existing plasticity models are either (1) top-down and interpretable, but not flexible …

As our understanding of the thalamocortical system deepens, the questions we face become
more complex. Their investigation requires the adoption of novel experimental approaches …

Key points Synaptic excitation and inhibition must be properly balanced in individual
neurons and neuronal networks to allow proper brain function. Disrupting this balance may …

Fetal and infant brains are rich in maternally derived taurine. We previously demonstrated
that taurine action regulates the cation-chloride cotransporter activity and the differentiation …
