Neurons in the context of Cognition
This topic is part of our "Cognition" world. There you'll find methodology, evidence and the highest-impact levers — plus the order in which they sensibly build on each other.

Chronic exposure to cold stress alters electrophysiological properties of locus coeruleus neurons recorded in vitro.
Neuropsychopharmacology2003Study13 influential citationsChronic stress exposure can alter central noradrenergic function. Previously, we reported that in chronically cold-exposed rats the release of norepinephrine and electrophysiological activation of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons is enhanced…
A Deep Quantitative Proteome Turnover Platform for Human iPSC-derived Neurons
bioRxiv20261 influential citationsQuantitative evaluation of protein turnover in human neurons is crucial for understanding neuron homeostasis and guiding drug development for neurological diseases. However, measuring protein turnover in postmitotic neurons remains…
Schizophrenia risk gene ZNF804A controls ribosome localization and synaptogenesis in developing human neurons.
Science advances2026ZNF804A was among the first genes robustly associated with schizophrenia based on findings from large-scale genomic studies. Previous research has implicated ZNF804A in the regulation of gene expression and synaptic function, but the role…
OPA1 in MC4R Neurons Regulates Dietary Fat Intake and Body Weight in Mice.
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology2026EMelanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) neurons in the hypothalamus regulate appetite and energy balance, and mitochondrial dynamics are important for neuronal function. However, how dietary fat intake affects mitochondrial regulation in the…
Neuronal extracellular vesicles regulate axon development in primary cortical neurons via local miR-99a targeting of HS3ST2.
Molecular biology of the cell2026EFully functional neural competence and integrity requires a complex array of communication means among neurons, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerging as a relevant mechanism for cell-cell interaction in the CNS. Despite the growing…
Insulin Growth Factor 1 affects glutamate receptor activity differently in primary cultures of neocortical versus hippocampal neurons.
bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology2026EInsulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) plays a critical role in neuronal signaling. Disrupted insulin/IGF-1 signaling is implicated in Alzheimer's disease, among other conditions, yet its specific influence on glutamate receptor-mediated…
Deep cerebellar stimulation restores chronic motor deficits and loss of GABAergic neurons following sensorimotor cortex surgical brain injury in female rats
Experimental Neurology2026<h4>Background</h4>Acquired brain injury, whether the result of trauma, stroke, or iatrogenic complications, may cause persistent motor and cognitive deficits with limited effective treatments. Recent studies suggest that deep brain…
Prenatal stress history modifies adolescent stress effects on adult social behavior and basolateral amygdala GABAergic neurons with perineuronal nets
Brain Research2026Developmental stress is a well-established risk factor for mental health disorders, yet the neural mechanisms underlying these outcomes remain incompletely understood. Inhibitory brain networks, particularly within the amygdala, are…
Effects of acute fluctuations of extracellular Zinc on network activity of human iPSC-derived neurons; impact of NMDA Receptor and L-Type Calcium Channel Activation
Neuropharmacology2026<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Zinc is an essential trace element involved in numerous biological processes including in the central nervous system. Strong genetic evidence has implicated dysregulation of free Zn<sup>2+</sup> levels in the…
High-frequency encoding in visual and auditory cortex neurons in mice and rats
Neuroscience2026Neocortical neurons can phase-lock their firing to high frequency fluctuations of membrane potential and thus encode these fluctuations in patterns of spikes with millisecond precision. However, for neurons from different areas, different…
