One, published in Neuron on June 17, described the epigenome of three different types of neuron from the mouse brain—one excitatory, and two inhibitory. Among a slew of other findings, the study ...

Further, neuron type-specific functional analyses are needed ... Genes with the highest loading in the first three principal components were analyzed by unsupervised hierarchical clustering.

Type 3 (also called Kugelberg-Welander disease ... The outlook is different for each type of motor neuron disease. Some are milder and progress more slowly than others. Although there is no ...

the researchers observed the migration of cerebellar granule neurons—a type of neuron found in the cerebellum—in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) environments. In 2D ...

The study shows that these three neuron types probably play a part in the decoding of sonic intensity (i.e. volume), a function that is crucial during conversations in a loud environment ...
