Identification of Inhibitory Neurones in the Hippocampus

Nature, 1963
IN their recent article in Nature, Andersen, Eccles and Loyning1 claim to have unequivocally identified the basket cells of the hippocampus as the inhibitory neurones of this brain structure. They claim that “there is no alternative” to this interpretation and that it therefore “seems possible for the first time to give an example from the mammalian ...

Cortical inhibitory neurons and schizophrenia

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2005
Impairments in certain cognitive functions, such as working memory, are core features of schizophrenia. Convergent findings indicate that a deficiency in signalling through the TrkB neurotrophin receptor leads to reduced GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) synthesis in the parvalbumin-containing subpopulation of inhibitory GABA neurons in the dorsolateral ...

The inhibitory neuronal glycine receptor

BioEssays, 1994
AbstractGlycine is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and in the brain stem, where it acts by activating a chloride conductance. The postsynaptic glycine receptor has been purified and contains two transmembrane subunits of 48 kDa (α) and 58 kDa (β), and a peripheral membrane protein of 93 kDa.

Inhibitory Phenomena and ‘Habituation’ at the Neuronal Level

Nature, 1961
IN behavioural habituation, according to Thorpe1, the animal “learns not to respond to stimuli which tend to be without significance in the life of the animal”. It does so by a mechanism which determines a “relatively permanent waning of a response as a result of repeated stimulation”.

Cortical inhibitory neurons

Neuroscience Translations, 1968
1. During direct and antidromic cortical stimulation a few neurons (3%) respond by a high-frequency discharge coinciding in time with the beginning of the inhibitory pause of the remaining cortical neurons. 2. The group of neurons thus distinguished is similar in its electrophysiological properties to Renshaw cells of the spinal cord.

An Exciting Inhibitory Neuron

Science's STKE, 2006
Discovered 30 years ago, axo-axonic or Chandelier cells are the most specific inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid-releasing (GABAergic) cell type known and are regularly used in textbooks to illustrate the strategic placement of inhibition on the axon. Szabadics et al.

Nuclear and radicular distribution of cardio-inhibitory neurons

Experientia, 1963
Nel cane, le fibre cardioinibitrici esconno dal bulbo con le radicole bulbari dell'accessorio e con quelle piu caudali del vago. Tali radicole non contengono fibre motrici per il tratto digerente, che sono contenute nella porzione craniale della radice vagale.

Stability of Antiphase Oscillations in a Network of Inhibitory Neurons

SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2015
We investigate antiphase, oscillatory behavior in a model network of two mutually coupled, identical neurons with inhibitory synapses. Each neuron is described as a relaxation oscillator, and the synapses are modeled in such a way that the synaptic activation occurs rapidly, but its inactivation proceeds with a speed comparable to the slow process of ...

Inhibitory neurons and the asymmetric shape of neuronal avalanches

Physical Review E
In the last twenty years neuronal avalanches have been deeply investigated, both experimentally and numerically, also framing the results in the context of the avalanche scaling theory. In particular the avalanche shape has recently received a wide attention, also because the existence of a universal shape is an indication of the brain acting at a ...

Characteristics of cortical inhibitory neurons

Neurophysiology, 1975
Spikes were recorded extracellularly and IPSPs intracellularly from auditory cortical neurons of cats immobilized with D-tubocurarine in response to stimulation of geniculo-cortical fibers. Fibers whose stimulation induces IPSPs in auditory cortical neurons mainly have low thresholds. When two stimuli, each of which separately evoked an IPSP of maximal
