Neurons

Scientific research into how the brain works has advanced rapidly in recent years, especially with the development of optogenetics, a field that allows researchers to control neurons using light. One of the most interesting discoveries in this area involves potassium channelrhodopsins, a group of light-sensitive proteins that can effectively inhibit neurons. By allowing potassium ions … Read more

The human brain relies on billions of specialized cells to process information, control movement, and support thought and emotion. Among these cells, cortical pyramidal neurons stand out as some of the most important and widely studied. These neurons are found in the cerebral cortex and play a key role in communication within the brain. Although … Read more
