Anatomical evidence suggests that rat CA1 hippocampal afferents collaterally innervate
excitatory projecting pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons, creating a disynaptic …

Background The functional heterogeneity of the hippocampus along its longitudinal axis at
the level of behavior is an established concept; however, the neurobiological mechanisms …

To delineate the cellular mechanisms underlying the function of medial prefrontal cortex
(mPFC) networks, it is critical to understand how synaptic inputs from various afferents are …

Background Elucidating specializations of the intrinsic neuronal network between the dorsal
and the ventral hippocampus is a recently emerging area of research that is expected to …

GABA (γ‐aminobutyric acid) can mediate inhibition via pre‐and post/extrasynaptic GABA
receptors. In this paper we demonstrate potentially post/extrasynaptic GABAB receptor …

Glutamate-containing pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPfc) project to the
ventral tegmental area (VTA) where they synapse on mesocorticolimbic dopamine …

Projections from the hippocampus, the mediodorsal thalamus (MD), and the ventral
tegmental area (VTA) form interconnected neural circuits that converge in the prefrontal …

Cognition and acquisition of novel motor skills and responses to emotional stimuli are
thought to involve complex networking between pyramidal and local GABAergic neurons in …

It has been hypothesized that intra-hippocampal GABAergic inhibitory interneurons mediate
formalin pain-induced suppression of dorsal hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cell discharge …

Neocortical synapses display several forms of short-term plasticity including paired-pulse
facilitation and depression. The mechanisms underlying this diversity are unclear. Synaptic …
