GABAergic inhibitory circuits play an essential role in coordinating various hippocampal
functions. Several decades of work dedicated to a thorough characterization of hippocampal …

In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

Understanding brain circuits begins with an appreciation of their component parts—the cells.
Although GABAergic interneurons are a minority population within the brain, they are crucial …

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 …

Understanding any brain circuit will require a categorization of its constituent neurons. In
hippocampal area CA1, at least 23 classes of GABAergic neuron have been proposed to …

In mammals, the selective transformation of transient experience into stored memory occurs
in the hippocampus, which develops representations of specific events in the context in …

Human imaging studies have revealed that intranasal administration of the" prosocial"
hormone oxytocin (OT) activates the frontal cortex, and this action of OT correlates with …

The Cre-loxP system is invaluable for spatial and temporal control of gene knockout,
knockin, and reporter expression in the mouse nervous system. However, we report varying …

The concept of a dynamic excitation/inhibition balance tuned by circuit disinhibition, which
can shape information flow during complex behavioral tasks, has arisen as an important and …

The external globus pallidus (GP e) of the basal ganglia is in a unique and powerful position
to influence processing of motor information by virtue of its widespread projections to all …
