The study revealed that sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently in Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most prevalent cause of autism, resulting in them being underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain.
Washington [US], September 18 (ANI): More than a decade after the role of pyramidal neurons in mental representations of space and location was discovered, a group of researchers have identified a subtype of neurons that can gauge speed with great precision.
Washington [US], September 15 (ANI): A group of researchers has made an important contribution to scientists' understanding of the brain's navigation system by identifying a subtype of these neurons that can gauge speed with great precision, more than a decade after the role of pyramidal neu
