During quiet, restful periods, they found that activating a single interneuron triggered a coordinated response across other brain cells—a short burst of synchronized brain activity. This ...

The interneuron then inhibits P 3. In contrast, the 'synaptic triad' pathway proposed by Ren et al . 3 involves P 2 directly exciting the presynaptic inhibitory terminal of I, which in turn ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) have been identified as key players in encoding pain ...

The study appears in Molecular Psychiatry. After developing a unique microscopy technique that enables real-time tracking of ...
