Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013 Cortical interneurons represent 20% of the cells in the cortex. These cells are local inhibitory neurons whose function is to modulate the firing activities of the excitatory projection neurons.

Membrane resonance enables stable and robust gamma oscillations [PDF]
, 2012 Neuronal mechanisms underlying beta/gamma oscillations (20-80 Hz) are not completely understood. Here, we show that in vivo beta/gamma oscillations in the cat visual cortex sometimes exhibit remarkably stable frequency even when inputs fluctuate ...

Cell Reports, 2016 Mitochondrial dysfunction has been increasingly linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability, childhood epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder, conditions also associated with cortical GABAergic interneuron dysfunction. Although

Nanoscale-targeted patch-clamp recordings of functional presynaptic ion channels [PDF]
, 2013 Important modulatory roles have been attributed to presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) located on cerebellar interneuron terminals. Evidence supporting a presynaptic location includes an increase in the frequency of mini events following the application ...

Cortical interneurons in autism
Nature Neuroscience, 2021 The mechanistic underpinnings of autism remain a subject of debate and controversy. Why do individuals with autism share an overlapping set of atypical behaviors and symptoms, despite having different genetic and environmental risk factors? A major challenge in developing new therapies for autism has been the inability to identify convergent neural ...

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
, 2017 The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

Interneurons Scratch an Itch [PDF]
Neuron, 2014 Itch is immensely frustrating. Most studies focus on the cause of itch. In this issue of Neuron, Kardon et al. (2014) find that itch can be modulated by inhibitory neurons that produce dynorphin, an endogenous agonist of κ-opioid receptors.

Selective expression of KCNS3 potassium channel α-subunit in parvalbumin-containing GABA neurons in the human prefrontal cortex [PDF]
, 2012 The cognitive deficits of schizophrenia appear to be associated with altered cortical GABA neurotransmission in the subsets of inhibitory neurons that express either parvalbumin (PV) or somatostatin (SST).

Cortical control of chandelier cells in neural codes
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Various cortical functions arise from the dynamic interplay of excitation and inhibition. GABAergic interneurons that mediate synaptic inhibition display significant diversity in cell morphology, electrophysiology, plasticity rule, and connectivity ...
