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

Sharp wave ripples (SPW‐Rs) represent the most synchronous population pattern in the
mammalian brain. Their excitatory output affects a wide area of the cortex and several …

One of the most captivating questions in neuroscience revolves around the brain's ability to
efficiently and durably capture and store information. It must process continuous input from …

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

Activity-dependent neuronal plasticity is a fundamental mechanism through which the
nervous system adapts to sensory experience. Several lines of evidence suggest that …

During an action potential, Ca 2+ entering a presynaptic terminal triggers synaptic vesicle
exocytosis and neurotransmitter release in less than a millisecond. How does Ca 2+ …

Certain clinical features of schizophrenia, such as working memory disturbances, appear to
emerge from altered gamma oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Given the …

Deficits in cognitive control, a core disturbance of schizophrenia, appear to emerge from
impaired prefrontal gamma oscillations. Cortical gamma oscillations require strong inhibitory …

Most neuronal communication relies upon the synchronous release of neurotransmitters,
which occurs through synaptic vesicle exocytosis triggered by action potential invasion of a …

Interneurons expressing cholecystokinin (CCK) and parvalbumin (PV) constitute two key
GABAergic controllers of hippocampal pyramidal cell output. Although the temporally …
