[PDF][PDF] Calretinin expression in the mammalian neocortex: a review

F Barinka, R Druga - Physiological research, 2010 - pdfs.semanticscholar.org
In the mammalian neocortex, the calcium-binding protein calretinin is expressed in a subset
of cortical interneurons. In the recent years, research on interneurons is one of the most …

Local synaptic inhibition mediates cerebellar granule cell pattern separation and enables learned sensorimotor associations

EA Fleming, GD Field, MR Tadross, C Hull - Nature Neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
The cerebellar cortex has a key role in generating predictive sensorimotor associations. To
do so, the granule cell layer is thought to establish unique sensorimotor representations for …
