It is still widely thought that cortical projections to distant brain areas derive by and large
from glutamatergic neurons. However, an increasing number of reports provide evidence …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control: the ability to coordinate thoughts or
actions in relation with internal goals. Its functional architecture, however, remains poorly …

Abstract Calretinin (CR)–positive GABAergic (gamma-aminobutyric acidergic) interneurons
have been suggested to target preferentially other GABAergic cells in the neocortex. To …

Abstract Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) GABAergic interneurons in hippocampal microcircuits
are thought to play a key role in several higher network functions, such as feedforward and …

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been implicated in a number of psychiatric disorders,
including schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. One major regulator of the …

The amygdala is a temporal lobe structure that is required for processing emotional
information. Polymodal sensory information enters the amygdala at the level of the …

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been implicated in cognitive and executive
processes including decision making, working memory and behavioral flexibility. Cortical …

In the mammalian cerebral cortex, the developmental events governing the integration of
excitatory projection neurons and inhibitory interneurons into balanced local circuitry are …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is implicated in a variety of cognitive and executive functions and
is composed of several distinct networks, including anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), medial …

The prefrontal cortex in primates guides behavior by selecting relevant stimuli for the task at
hand, mediated through excitatory bidirectional pathways with structures associated with …
