Researchers gain new leads about the working of brain

The new study conducted at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases have got through the new insights about the functioning of brain. The team carried out their research that how a nerve signals is censored in the entorhinal cortex. Further more the team finds out the neuronal inhibition that ultimately leads to synchronization of the activities. Dr. Prateep Beed, the lead author of this study provides an insight, “Until now research has mainly concentrated on signal excitation within the entorhinal cortex. This is why we looked into inhibition and detected a gradient inside the entorhinal cortex. This means that nerve signals are not suppressed equally. The blockage of the nerve signals is weaker in certain parts of the entorhinal cortex and stronger in others. The inhibition has, so to speak, a spatial profile.” This is important research as these will the scientist and the medical practitioners to understand the working of the brain in a better way.
