Clinical Parameters Affect Pyramidal Neurons in the Human Neocortex
Neuronal adaptability, or plasticity, is fundamental to how the human brain processes and responds to changes throughout life. Within the…
Ammonium Chloride Disrupts Synaptic Transmission: The Role of Astrocytes in Hyperammonemia-Induced Neurotoxicity
In our latest study, we demonstrate that ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) significantly reduces excitatory synaptic transmission onto CA1 pyramidal neurons in…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) triggers dose-dependent homeostatic rewiring in recurrent neuronal networks
In our latest study, we show that the effect of rTMS on structural plasticity critically depends on stimulation intensity, frequency,…
