Astrocytes are important regulators of excitatory synaptic networks. However, astrocytes
regulation of inhibitory synaptic systems remains ill defined. This is particularly relevant …

The signaling diversity of GABAergic interneurons to post-synaptic neurons is crucial to
generate the functional heterogeneity that characterizes brain circuits. Whether this diversity …

A distinctive feature of the hippocampal structure is the diversity of inhibitory interneurons.
These complex inhibitory interconnections largely contribute to the tight modulation of …

Astrocyte responds to neuronal activity with calcium waves and modulates synaptic
transmission through the release of gliotransmitters. However, little is known about the direct …

Cortical inhibitory neurons exhibit remarkable diversity in their morphology, connectivity, and
synaptic properties. Here, we review the function of somatostatin-expressing (SOM) …

While neurons principally mediate brain function, astrocytes are emerging as cells with
important neuromodulatory actions in brain physiology. In addition to homeostatic roles …

Background Understanding the dynamic range for excitatory transmission is a critical
component of building a functional circuit diagram for the mammalian brain. Excitatory …

Information processing in cortical neuronal networks relies on properly balanced excitatory
and inhibitory neurotransmission. A ubiquitous motif for maintaining this balance is the …

GABA-releasing cortical interneurons are crucial for the neural transformations underlying
sensory perception, providing “feedforward” inhibition that constrains the temporal window …

A diverse array of interneuron types regulates activity in the mammalian neocortex. Two of
the most abundant are the fast-spiking, parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons, which …
