Potassium KCNQ2/3 channels are crucial for suppressing the excitability of brain cells, or neurons. When these channels don't ...

Researchers discover that KCNQ2/3 potassium channels must be functional to reach their proper location in the brain, with major implications for treating epilepsy.

Like thermostats that switch on heating or cooling to regulate temperature, neurons tune their excitability up or down to weather environmental changes. Who would have thought, though, that nerve ...

Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have, for the first time, witnessed nerve plasticity in the axon in motion. Our nerve cells communicate through rapid transmission of ...
