In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

Gamma frequency oscillations are thought to provide a temporal structure for information
processing in the brain. They contribute to cognitive functions, such as memory formation …

Synchronization of neuronal activity in the neocortex may underlie the coordination of neural
representations and thus is critical for optimal cognitive function. Because cognitive deficits …

G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) can form heteromeric complexes. Herein'we describe
a new approach to test the heteromerization of 2 receptors' or 2 receptor subunits' and to …

The activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) produces a variety of
actions that lead to alterations in excitability and synaptic transmission in the CA1 region of …

Rapid memory formation relies, at least in part, on long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory
synapses. Inhibitory interneurons of the hippocampus, which are essential for information …

Networks of GABAergic neurons are key elements in the generation of γ oscillations in the
brain. Computational studies suggested that the emergence of coherent oscillations requires …

Several lines of evidence suggest that a hypoglutamatergic condition may induce a
phenotypic loss of cortical parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons, such as that …

Recent in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that astrocytes participate in the
maintenance of cortical gamma oscillations and recognition memory. However, the …

Almost 25 years after the first report that glutamate can activate receptors coupled to
heterotrimeric G-proteins, tremendous progress has been made in the field of metabotropic …
