Researchers have mapped the long-range synaptic connections involved in vocal learning in zebra finches, uncovering new details about how the brain organises learned vocalisations such as birdsong.

However, it remains unclear whether the MGBA can influence the morphology and density of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. The aim of this study was to determine whether antibiotic-induced dysbiosis ...

This could be due to selectivity in the inhibitory circuitry, such as differences in inhibitory input to different ganglion cells. Another possibility is that the differences are related to ...

The study presents a useful computational analysis of how the ratio between excitatory and inhibitory neural numbers affects coding capacity. The authors show that increasing the proportion of ...

We thank Professor John L. Rubenstein for his comments, suggestions, and edits. We are grateful to Professor Hua Han for sharing the Rbpj floxed mice, and Professor Jean M. Hebert for sharing ...
