In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

A systematic classification and accepted nomenclature of neuron types is much needed but
is currently lacking. This article describes a possible taxonomical solution for classifying …

We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of
juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to …

A highly diverse population of neocortical GABAergic inhibitory interneurons has been
implicated in multiple functions in information processing within cortical circuits. The diversity …

Glucose is the mandatory fuel for the brain, yet the relative contribution of glucose and
lactate for neuronal energy metabolism is unclear. We found that increased lactate, but not …

Our original review,“Heterogeneity and Diversity of Striatal GABAergic Interneurons,” to
which this is an invited update, was published in December, 2010 in Frontiers is …

Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals,
is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns …

Identification of the cellular players and molecular messengers that communicate neuronal
activity to the vasculature driving cerebral hemodynamics is important for (1) the basic …

The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …

Diffuse hemispheric gliomas, H3G34R/V-mutant (DHG-H3G34), are lethal brain tumors
lacking targeted therapies. They originate from interneuronal precursors; however …
