Neuroligin-2 deletion selectively decreases inhibitory synaptic transmission originating from fast-spiking but not from somatostatin-positive interneurons.

2 Nov 2009 Neuroligins are cell adhesion molecules involved in synapse formation and/or function. Neurons express four neuroligins (NL1-NL4), of which NL1 is specific to excitatory and NL2 to inhibitory synapses. Excitatory and inhibitory synapses include ... Read more...

Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.

30 Oct 2009 The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...

Anatomy and physiology of a set of low-frequency vibratory interneurons in a nonhearing ensiferan (Troglophilus neglectus, rhaphidophoridae).

18 Oct 2009 Vibratory interneurons were investigated in a primitive nonhearing ensiferan (orthopteran) species (Troglophilus neglectus, Rhaphidophoridae), using intracellular recording and staining technique. The study included 26 morphologically and/or ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Interneurons'

Definition: Most generally any neurons which are not motor or sensory. Interneurons may also refer to neurons whose axons remain within a particular brain region as contrasted with projection neurons which have axons projecting to other brain regions.
