Parvalbumin-positive inhibitory neurons in the cortex have insulating myelin sheathes, despite forming only short-range connections.

About the workshop This workshop will cover array tomography (AT) technology with a focus on “simple and affordable” workflows based on serial ultramicrotomy and imaging. The practicals include...

Lipofuscin granules are generally considered as age-pigment. However, we encountered numerous large irregular clusters of lipofuscin granules in the olfactory nerve layer and glomerular layer of the m...

Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through metabotrop...

The knowledge in our brains, not in our phones, is necessary for creative thinking and the pursuit of truth.

The mammalian cerebral cortex comprises a complex neuronal network that maintains a delicate balance between excitatory neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Previous studies, including our own researc...
