Inhibitory interneurons comprise a diverse subpopulation of cells that are critical to circuit
function. How distinct inhibitory microcircuits control long-range projections remains poorly
understood. A recent study by Lu and colleagues uncovered a unidirectional microcircuit of
prefrontal chandelier cells that preferentially innervate and suppress long-range amygdala-
projecting pyramidal cells.
