A dendritic mechanism allows the brain to select key information for learning and memory.

An international team of researchers has discovered a new mechanism that inhibits a group of dendrites so that others have the possibility of selecting, within stimulus noise, those keys that are important for learning in certain experiences. https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(18)30774-8 https://www.neurologia.com//noticia/7044/un-mecanismo-dendritico-permite-al-cerebro-seleccionar-informacion-clave-para-el-aprendizaje-y-la-memoria

Genetic, neurobiological, and environmental convergences and divergencies between autism and the spectrum of schizophrenia.

There is a genotypic overlap between the spectrum of autism and the spectrum of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders that support the hypothesis that both conditions may emerge from common pathogenic mechanisms. These mechanisms, together with environmental risk factors, would explain some of the neurobiological similarities. It is important to clarify that phenotypically they remain… Continuar lendo Genetic, neurobiological, and environmental convergences and divergencies between autism and the spectrum of schizophrenia.
