Researchers in Bonn have identified neural circuits in the brains of mice that are pivotal for movement and navigation in space.These nerve cells that are presumed to exist in a similar form in humans, give the start signal for locomotion

In the paper Function and developmental origin of a mesocortical inhibitory circuit, Dr. Sandra Blaess and members of the Laboratory of Experimental Epileptology and Cognition Research discover a mesocortical inhibitory circuit. This mesocortical circuit provides glutamatergic excitation of interneurons and inhibits pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal
