Sst- and Vip-Cre mouse lines without age-related hearing loss

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: Calvin T Foss, Timothy Olsen, James Bigelow and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: GABAergic interneurons, including somatostatin (SST) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) positive cells, play a crucial role in cortical circuit processing. Cre recombinase-mediated manipulation of these interneurons is facilitated by commercially available knock-in mouse strains such as […]
