The focus lies on the systems neuroscience level, at which we try to understand how the
many neurons of the brain work together to bring about our conscious experiences and our behavior.
After isolating the gene, Wu's team determined that when working properly, Wake helps shut down
clock neurons of the brain that control arousal by making them more responsive to signals from the inhibitory neurotransmitter called GABA.
«On the basis of
individual neurons of the brain, humans may indeed have a far more active, or even more complex, transcription profile than chimpanzee,» the authors note.
This information is then sent off to the
mirror neurons of the brain and these cells remap the patterns of running, tackling or passing onto the appropriate sequence of muscle twitches that help you produce the identical actions — even while your butt is firmly planted on the couch.

This affects dopamine tolerance (note: dopamine is a neurotransmitter, one of those chemicals that is responsible for transmitting signals in between
the neurons of the brain) and makes you feel like you have to eat more.
Specifically, it is important for the ion pumps that control signaling between
the neurons of the brain.

Cerebrospinal demyelination: a condition where
the neurons of the brain and spinal cord are malformed, lacking a specialized sheath, which causes malfunction.
The main issue in canine seizures, as well as any other type of seizure, is that there is an abnormal firing of nerve impulses originating from
the neurons of the brain.
Neurodegnerative: The prefix «neuro» has to do with
