Brain's inhibitory circuits emerge as a potential brake on adult glioma progression

Brain tumors do not grow in isolation. They develop within the highly active environment of the brain, where neurons continuously exchange electrical and chemical signals. While previous studies have shown that neuronal activity can promote glioma growth, a new study published in Neuron reveals that some brain circuits can have the opposite effect: They can act as a brake on tumor progression.
