This simple picture shows the situation of a neuron at rest: A lot of potassium on the inside, and a lot of sodium chloride on the outside of the cell. But when the neuron is firing, ...

The study appears online in Neuron. Researchers know of several resting-state brain networks, which are groups of different brain regions whose activity levels rise and fall in sync when the brain ...

Just as muscle cells must rest after strenuous exercise to prevent long-term damage, ... Figure 2: Transient network silences (off periods) allow cellular rest at a single-neuron level.
