Our original review,“Heterogeneity and Diversity of Striatal GABAergic Interneurons,” to
which this is an invited update, was published in December, 2010 in Frontiers is …

GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult forebrain, where it activates
ionotropic type A and metabotropic type B receptors. Early studies have shown that GABAA …

Delay-period activity of prefrontal cortical cells, the neural hallmark of working memory, is
generally assumed to be sustained by reverberating synaptic excitation in the prefrontal …

In the adult hippocampus and olfactory bulb, neural progenitor cells generate neurons that
functionally integrate into the existing circuits. To understand how neuronal differentiation …

The least known aspect of the functional architecture of hippocampal microcircuits is the
quantitative distribution of synaptic inputs of identified cell classes. The complete dendritic …

Neostriatal cholinergic interneurons are believed to be important for reinforcement-mediated
learning and response selection by signaling the occurrence and motivational value of …

Endocannabinoids are retrograde messengers released by neurons to modulate the
strength of their synaptic inputs. Endocannabinoids are thought to mediate the suppression …

GABA A receptors mediate fast synaptic inhibition in the CNS. Whilst this is undoubtedly
true, it is a gross oversimplification of their actions. The receptors themselves are diverse …

Patients and models of temporal lobe epilepsy have fewer inhibitory interneurons in the
dentate gyrus than controls, but it is unclear whether granule cell inhibition is reduced. We …

The dentate gyrus of the hippocampus contains neural progenitor cells (NPCs) that generate
neurons throughout life. Developing neurons of the adult hippocampus have been …
