but rather in their spiny extensions called dendrites. This discovery stems from studies in mice, in which researchers observed memory formation using advanced imaging techniques, including ...

A new species of bat, squirrel, and spiny mouse also made the list. “Discovering four new mammals in any expedition is surprising – finding them in a region with significant human populations ...

Activation of astrocytic D1R-IP3 signaling leads to adenosine release, which decreases glutamatergic transmission to NAc medium spiny neurons. Mice lacking functional astrocytic IP3R2 or D1Rs show ...
