Somatostatin-expressing GABAergic neurons constitute a major class of inhibitory neurons
in the mammalian cortex and are characterized by dense wiring into the local network and …

GABAergic interneurons, which are highly diverse, have long been thought to contribute to
the timing of neural activity as well as to the generation and shaping of brain rhythms …

Abstract Cortical gamma oscillations (20-80 Hz) predict increases in focused attention, and
failure in gamma regulation is a hallmark of neurological and psychiatric disease. Current …

Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

Gap junctions are essential to the function of multicellular animals, which require a high
degree of coordination between cells. In vertebrates, gap junctions comprise connexins and …

Connexins are ubiquitous channel forming proteins that assemble as plasma membrane
hemichannels and as intercellular gap junction channels that directly connect cells. In the …

Gamma frequency oscillations are thought to provide a temporal structure for information
processing in the brain. They contribute to cognitive functions, such as memory formation …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

The structure of the brain as a product of morphogenesis is difficult to reconcile with the
observed complexity of cerebral connectivity. We therefore analyzed relationships of …

Activated neuronal groups typically engage in rhythmic synchronization in the gamma-
frequency range (30–100Hz). Experimental and modeling studies demonstrate that each …
