Cholinergic and adrenergic modulation sculpts parallel inhibition of SST-INs in visual cortex

Posted by dbos This Week: Neuroscience, Yale

Kavli Affiliate: Michael J Higley | Authors: Jyoti Gupta, Chiayu Chiu, Fabio Veneto, Julijana Gjorgjieve and Michael Higley | Summary: neocortex. A growing literature has highlighted the role of somatostatin-expressing interneurons (SST-INs) in regulating cortical activity, and inhibition of SST-INs by other interneurons has emerged as a circuit motif leading to disinhibition of pyramidal neurons. […]

A new neural code for position: generalizable spatial maps in mouse medial frontal cortex

Posted by dbos Columbia, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Axel and Stefano Fusi | Authors: Rajyashree Sen, Lorenzo Posani, Alexander Medoff, Baihe Zhang, LF Abbott, Richard Axel and Stefano Fusi | Summary: Navigation requires the brain to encode spatial relationships that support extrapolation from explored to unexplored regions of space. We identified a novel neural code for space in the mouse […]
