In a study published in the journal Neuron, researchers from the group of Dr. Martin Fuhrmann report on the role of hippocampal interneurons in Alzheimer’s disease. They identify synaptic rewiring deficits on the input and output side of O-LM interneurons

Nearby neurons in sensory cortices display correlated ongoing and sensory-evoked activity. What gives rise to this synchronous activity is mostly unknown. On the one hand cortical synchrony may reflect shared and correlated inputs from the thalamus, which is the sub-cortical structure

Releasing molecular brake allowed damaged neurons to regenerate Bonn (Germany), October 6th, 2016 – Injuries to the spinal cord can cause paralysis and other permanent disabilities because severed nerve fibers do not regrow. Now, scientists of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases
