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

Voltage-gated calcium channels are the primary mediators of depolarization-induced
calcium entry into neurons. There is great diversity of calcium channel subtypes due to …

Highlights•Acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine and serotonin all facilitate long-term
synaptic plasticity.•Neuromodulators facilitate long-term synaptic plasticity by common and …

Cholinergic septohippocampal projections from the medial septal area to the hippocampus
are proposed to have important roles in cognition by modulating properties of the …

Large-scale genomic studies of schizophrenia have identified hundreds of genetic loci
conferring risk to the disorder. This progress offers an important route toward defining the …

It is generally accepted that presynaptic transmitter release is mainly regulated by subtypes
of neuronal high-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels. Here for the first time, we examined the …

Striatal cholinergic interneurons are implicated in motor control, associative plasticity, and
reward-dependent learning. Synchronous activation of cholinergic interneurons triggers …

Acetylcholine (ACh), released in the hippocampus from fibers originating in the medial
septum/diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) complex, is crucial for learning and memory. The …

T-type calcium channels represent a key pathway for Ca 2+ entry near the resting
membrane potential. Increasing evidence supports a unique role of these channels in fast …

Key points Parvalbumin‐containing (PV) neurons from mouse CA1 hippocampus (HC) and
prefrontal cortex exhibit a fast spiking phenotype in vitro. Within CA1, HC PV cells are mainly …
