Scientists identify two brain cell types that function abnormally in depression
For decades, depression has been explained to patients as a “chemical imbalance” in the brain, a vague phrase that never ...
New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.
To stay in balance, the brain depends on two types of neurons: Excitatory neurons (in white), which increase activity, and inhibitory neurons (in black), which damp down signals. Scientists have now ...
