Mammals adapt to a rapidly changing world because of the sophisticated cognitive functions
that are supported by the neocortex. The neocortex, which forms almost 80% of the human …

▪ Abstract We explore the extent to which neocortical circuits generalize, ie, to what extent
can neocortical neurons and the circuits they form be considered as canonical? We find that …

We developed a quantitative description of the circuits formed in cat area 17 by estimating
the “weight” of the projections between different neuronal types. To achieve this, we made …

This article provides a general account of types of neurons, synaptic connections and
chemical characteristics (colocalization studies) of cells immunoreactive for the three main …

A characteristic of nerve cells is their ability to propagate an action potential and to
communicate through specialized contact zones, called synapses. Synapses have received …

In the cortex inhibition is mediated predominantly by GABAergic interneurons. Although all
of these neurons use the same neurotransmitter, studies in the rat frontal cortex have shown …

1. To test the hypothesis that physiologically and morphologically different cortical
nonpyramidal cells express different calcium-binding proteins, whole-cell current-clamp …

The use of immunocytochemical and histochemical methods to study colocalization of two or
more chemical compounds in the same neuron has revealed that there is a great diversity of …

To investigate the electrophysiological properties, synaptic connections, and anatomy of
individual parvalbumin‐immunoreactive (PV‐IR) and cholecystokinin‐immunoreactive (CCK …

The basolateral amygdala contains subpopulations of non-pyramidal neurons that express
the calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin, calbindin-D28k (calbindin) or calretinin. Although …
