Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2017
In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only ~10–15% of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological diversity allows them to regulate virtually all aspects of cellular and circuit function. Here we provide an overview of the current state of the field of interneuron research,

Cortical interneurons that specialize in disinhibitory control

open access: yesNature, 2013
In the mammalian cerebral cortex the diversity of interneuronal subtypes underlies a division of labour subserving distinct modes of inhibitory control. A unique mode of inhibitory control may be provided by inhibitory neurons that specifically suppress ...

Translatome of dorsal striatum parvalbumin interneurons revisited: insights across diverse experimental paradigms

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the dorsal striatum (DS) are fast-spiking GABAergic cells critical for feedforward inhibition and synaptic integration within basal ganglia circuits.

Dichotomous Dynamics in E-I Networks with Strongly and Weakly Intra-connected Inhibitory Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
The interconnectivity between excitatory and inhibitory neural networks informs mechanisms by which rhythmic bursts of excitatory activity can be produced in the brain. One such mechanism, Pyramidal Interneuron Network Gamma (PING), relies primarily upon

Fast-spiking Parvalbumin Interneurons are Frequently Myelinated in the Cerebral Cortex of Mice and Humans

open access: yesCerebral Cortex, 2017
Myelination, the insulating ensheathment of axons by oligodendrocytes, is thought to both optimize signal propagation and provide metabolic support. Despite the well-established physiological importance of myelination to neuronal function, relatively ...

Neuroinflammation and Prefrontal Cortical Microcircuits: A Narrative Review of Hints from Experimental Models

open access: yesCells
Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to cognitive and neuropsychiatric dysfunction. The prefrontal cortex (PFC), a key substrate for executive functions and emotional behaviors, appears particularly vulnerable to ...

Deprivation of Muscleblind-Like Proteins Causes Deficits in Cortical Neuron Distribution and Morphological Changes in Dendritic Spines and Postsynaptic Densities

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019
Myotonic dystrophy (Dystrophia Myotonica; DM) is the most common adult-onset muscular dystrophy and its brain symptoms seriously affect patients’ quality of life. It is caused by extended (CTG)n expansions at 3′-UTR of DMPK gene (DM type 1, DM1) or (CCTG)

Rapid and efficient optical tissue clearing for volumetric imaging of the intact and injured spinal cord in mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
Tissue clearing and 3D imaging have emerged as powerful techniques to assess the cellular and tissue-level architecture of the spinal cord. With the rapidly increasing variety and complexity of optical tissue clearing techniques, there is a critical need

The function of Mef2c toward the development of excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are caused by abnormal brain development, leading to altered brain function and affecting cognition, learning, self-control, memory, and emotion.
