Development and functional diversification of cortical interneurons

open access: yesNeuron, 2018
In the cerebral cortex, GABAergic interneurons have evolved as a highly heterogeneous collection of cell types that are characterized by their unique spatial and temporal capabilities to influence neuronal circuits.

Interneurons Scratch an Itch [PDF]

open access: yesNeuron, 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.

PV Interneurons: Critical Regulators of E/I Balance for Prefrontal Cortex-Dependent Behavior and Psychiatric Disorders

open access: yesFront. Neural Circuits, 2018
Elucidating the prefrontal cortical microcircuit has been challenging, given its role in multiple complex behaviors, including working memory, cognitive flexibility, attention, social interaction and emotional regulation.

Layer 5 Callosal Parvalbumin-Expressing Neurons: A Distinct Functional Group of GABAergic Neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Previous studies have shown that parvalbumin-expressing neurons (CC-Parv neurons) connect the two hemispheres of motor and sensory areas via the corpus callosum, and are a functional part of the cortical circuit.

Prefrontal GABAergic Interneurons Gate Long-Range Afferents to Regulate Prefrontal Cortex-Associated Complex Behaviors

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2021
Prefrontal cortical GABAergic interneurons (INs) and their innervations are essential for the execution of complex behaviors such as working memory, social behavior, and fear expression.

Inhibition of Inhibition in Visual Cortex: The Logic of Connections Between Molecularly Distinct Interneurons

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2013
Cortical inhibitory neurons contact each other to form a network of inhibitory synaptic connections. Our knowledge of the connectivity pattern underlying this inhibitory network is, however, still incomplete.

Transcriptional and imaging-genetic association of cortical interneurons, brain function, and schizophrenia risk

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Inhibitory interneurons orchestrate information flow across the cortex and are implicated in psychiatric illness. Although interneuron classes have unique functional properties and spatial distributions, the influence of interneuron subtypes on brain ...

GABA interneurons are the cellular trigger for ketamine's rapid antidepressant actions.

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2019
A single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine, an NMDA receptor (NMDAR) antagonist, produces rapid and sustained antidepressant actions in depressed patients, addressing a major unmet need for the treatment of mood disorders.

Three Groups of Interneurons Account for Nearly 100% of Neocortical GABAergic Neurons

open access: yesDevelopmental Neurobiology, 2011
An understanding of the diversity of cortical GABAergic interneurons is critical to understand the function of the cerebral cortex. Recent data suggest that neurons expressing three markers, the Ca2+‐binding protein parvalbumin (PV), the neuropeptide ...

Inhibition of GABA interneurons in the mPFC is sufficient and necessary for rapid antidepressant responses

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2020
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with alterations of GABAergic interneurons, notably somatostatin (Sst) as well as parvalbumin (Pvalb), in cortical brain areas.
