Fast-spiking parvalbumin (PV) interneurons are inhibitory interneurons with unique
morphological and functional properties that allow them to precisely control local circuitry …

Brain function is a product of the balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) brain
activity. Variation in the regulation of this activity is thought to give rise to normal variation in …

Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

Cortical processing reflects the interplay of synaptic excitation and synaptic inhibition.
Rapidly accumulating evidence is highlighting the crucial role of inhibition in sha** …

Synaptic inhibition plays a crucial role in regulating neuronal excitability, which is the
foundation of nervous system function. This inhibition is largely mediated by the …

Over the past two decades, research has identified extrasynaptic GABA A receptor
populations that enable neurons to sense the low ambient GABA concentrations present in …

The mammalian forebrain is constructed from ensembles of neurons that form local
microcircuits giving rise to the exquisite cognitive tasks the mammalian brain can perform …

Neuronal gamma-band synchronization is found in many cortical areas, is induced by
different stimuli or tasks, and is related to several cognitive capacities. Thus, it appears as if …

Gamma frequency oscillations are thought to provide a temporal structure for information
processing in the brain. They contribute to cognitive functions, such as memory formation …

Brain processing depends on the interactions between neuronal groups. Those interactions
are governed by the pattern of anatomical connections and by yet unknown mechanisms …
