UCSF scientists controlled seizures in epileptic mice with a one-time transplantation of medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) cells, which inhibit signaling in overactive nerve circuits, into the hippocampus, a brain region associated with seizures, as well as with learning and memory. Other researchers had previously used different cell types in rodent cell transplantation experiments and failed to stop seizures. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-epilepsy-mice-brain-cells.html Neuroscience Sun, 05 May 2013 13:00:27 EST news286953942 Scientists have found an early step in how the brain's inhibitory cells get excited. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-01-scientists-inhibitory-brain-cells.html Neuroscience Wed, 30 Jan 2013 13:16:39 EST news278774191 Scientists now have a better understanding of how precise memories are formed thanks to research led by Prof. Jean-Claude Lacaille of the University of Montreal's Department of Physiology. "In terms of human applications, these findings could help us to better understand memory impairments in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease," Lacaille said. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-05-neuro-sharpen-memories.html Neuroscience Tue, 01 May 2012 17:20:01 EST news255107778
