Brain cells can be broadly divided into two categories: inhibitory and excitatory neurons. Excitatory neurons are cells that support the generation of electrical impulses in postsynaptic neurons, thus prompting the activation ...
Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and their collaborators have uncovered the coding principle underlying self-centered (egocentric) representation in spatial perception.
