Soderling Network (IMAGE) Duke University Caption Duke researchers uncovered more than 100 proteins at the inhibitory synapse, a type of brain connection that sculpts brain signaling patterns and puts the brakes on brain activity. This artistic interpretation shows, on the left, a region called the hippocampus, which is responsible for learning and memory that becomes overexcited, causing some forms of epilepsy. The right network diagram suggests the various interconnected relationships between the newfound proteins. Credit Akiyoshi Uezu, Tyler Bradshaw and Scott Soderling.
