GABAergic inhibitory circuits play an essential role in coordinating various hippocampal
functions. Several decades of work dedicated to a thorough characterization of hippocampal …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Theories stipulate that memories are encoded within networks of cortical projection neurons.
Conversely, GABAergic interneurons are thought to function primarily to inhibit projection …

The concept of a dynamic excitation/inhibition balance tuned by circuit disinhibition, which
can shape information flow during complex behavioral tasks, has arisen as an important and …

The interplay between excitatory and inhibitory circuits underlies the brain's processes and
their dysregulation has been linked to cognitive decline, psychiatric disorders and epilepsy …

Dorsal and ventral hippocampus regions exert cognition and emotion-related functions,
respectively. Since both regions display rhythmic activity, specific neural oscillatory …

BACKGROUND One hundred years ago, experiments on beating frog hearts identified
acetylcholine (ACh) as the seminal neurotransmitter. Sixty years later, fractionation of the eel …

Cholinergic innervation of the hippocampus uses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)
to coordinate neuronal circuit activity while simultaneously influencing the function of non …

A distinctive feature of the hippocampal structure is the diversity of inhibitory interneurons.
These complex inhibitory interconnections largely contribute to the tight modulation of …

INTRODUCTION Associative learning is essential for survival, and the mammalian
hippocampal neurocircuitry has been shown to play a central role in the formation of specific …
