For the first time, researchers show that a unique type of inhibitory interneuron called chandelier cells -- which are implicated in several diseases affecting the brain such as schizophrenia and ...

Disrupted excitatory synapse maturation in GABAergic interneurons may promote neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. However, establishing developmental programs for nascent synapses in ...

Uncovering the molecules at play would further the understanding of cortical inhibitory circuit formation. In a recent publication in the journal of Science Advances, Max Planck Florida's Taniguchi ...

A single interneuron controls activity adaptively in 50,000 neurons, enabling consistently sparse codes for odors. Surprisingly, each Kenyon cell is connected on average to half of all possible ...
