Contrasting roles of axonal (pyramidal cell) and dendritic (interneuron) electrical coupling in the generation of neuronal network oscillations [PDF]
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?

Interneurons Scratch an Itch [PDF]
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.

Selected issues of GABA metabolism and its potential role in neuropsychiatric disorders.
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.

Accumulation of amyloid β oligomers (AβO) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) impairs hippocampal theta and gamma oscillations. These oscillations are important in memory functions and depend on distinct subtypes of hippocampal interneurons such as somatostatin ...

Dopamine-modulated dynamic cell assemblies generated by the GABAergic striatal microcircuit [PDF]
The striatum, the principal input structure of the basal ganglia, is crucial to both motor control and learning. It receives convergent input from all over the neocortex, hippocampal formation, amygdala and thalamus, and is the primary recipient of ...

Dysfunction of cortical GABAergic neurons leads to sensory hyper-reactivity in a Shank3 mouse model of ASD. [PDF]
Hyper-reactivity to sensory input is a common and debilitating symptom in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), but the neural basis underlying sensory abnormality is not completely understood.

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

Genetically altered AMPA-type glutamate receptor kinetics in interneurons disrupt long-range synchrony of gamma oscillation [PDF]
Gamma oscillations synchronized between distant neuronal populations may be critical for binding together brain regions devoted to common processing tasks.

Neural rhythms are ubiquitous in cortical recordings, but it is unclear whether they emerge due to the basic structure of cortical microcircuits or depend on function.

Extrasynaptic GABAA receptors (GABAARs) mediating tonic inhibition are thought to play an important role in the regulation of neuronal excitability. However, little is known about a cell type-specific tonic inhibition in molecularly distinctive types of ...
