Inhibitory circuits in the neocortex used to be so simple. Although it's true that the neocortex has a mystifying assortment of inhibitory interneurons 1, most of the fast synaptic connections ...

which connect the central nervous system to the body’s organs and tissues, interneurons form connections between neurons. The majority of interneurons are inhibitory, meaning they dampen the ...

It appears that rhEPO influences the interactions between certain types of nerve cells, particularly between pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons. The experiments, conducted both in the ...

Short intracortical inhibition, on the other hand, is a process that temporarily suppresses motor cortex activity through inhibitory interneurons, helping to regulate and fine-tune motor output.

Other signals are inhibitory, meaning they decrease the activity of the neurons that receive the signal. The interneurons seen here release a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), ...

“It is an outstanding example of circuit analysis and a real experimental tour de force,” said neuroscientist Massimo Scanziani of the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the ...

Recurrent spiking networks that process input stimuli with optimal efficiency have key emerging properties that are similar to those of biological neural networks.
