Contrasting roles of axonal (pyramidal cell) and dendritic (interneuron) electrical coupling in the generation of neuronal network oscillations [PDF]
, 2003 Electrical coupling between pyramidal cell axons, and between interneuron dendrites, have both been described in the hippocampus. What are the functional roles of the two types of coupling?

Structural Changes Observed in the Piriform Cortex in a Rat Model of Pre-motor Parkinson’s Disease
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) offers perhaps, the most promising route to a successful clinical intervention, and the use of an animal model exhibiting symptoms comparable to those observed in PD patients in the early stage of the disease ...

Selected issues of GABA metabolism and its potential role in neuropsychiatric disorders.
Journal of Medical Science, 2017 This mini review is limited to chosen problems about GABA metabolism mainly in aspect of associated disorders. GABA primarily identified as inhibitory neurotransmitter plays also excitatory function.

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.

Sex differences in the distribution and density of regulatory interneurons in the striatum
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceIntroductionDysfunction of the cortico-basal circuitry – including its primary input nucleus, the striatum – contributes to neuropsychiatric disorders, such as autism and Tourette Syndrome (TS).

Subventricular zone stem cells are heterogeneous with respect to their embryonic origins and neurogenic fates in the adult olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2007 Wedetermined the embryonic origins of adult forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ) stem cells by Cre-lox fate mapping in transgenic mice. We found that all parts of the telencephalic neuroepithelium, including the medial ganglionic eminence and lateral ...
