Cell type-specific circuits of cortical layer IV spiny neurons.
Sensory signal processing in cortical layer IV involves two major morphological classes of excitatory neurons: spiny stellate and pyramidal cells. It is essentially unknown how these two cell types are integrated into intracortical networks and whether they play different roles in cortical signal processing. We mapped their cell-specific intracortical afferents in rat somatosensory cortex throu...
متن کاملSpecific GABAA circuits for visual cortical plasticity.
Weak inhibition within visual cortex early in life prevents experience-dependent plasticity. Loss of responsiveness to an eye deprived of vision can be initiated prematurely by enhancing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated transmission with benzodiazepines. Here, we use a mouse "knockin" mutation to alpha subunits that renders individual GABA type A (GABA(A)) receptors insensitive to diazep...
متن کاملInhibitory Circuits in Cortical Layer 5
Inhibitory neurons play a fundamental role in cortical computation and behavior. Recent technological advances, such as two photon imaging, targeted in vivo recording, and molecular profiling, have improved our understanding of the function and diversity of cortical interneurons, but for technical reasons most work has been directed towards inhibitory neurons in the superficial cortical layers....
متن کاملLayer-specific regulation of cortical neurons by interhemispheric inhibition
Processing of sensory information from both sides of the body requires coordination of sensory input between the two hemispheres. This coordination is achieved by transcallosal (interhemispheric) fibers that course though the upper cortical layers. In a recent study by Palmer et al. (2012), we investigated the role of this interhemispheric input on the dendritic and somatic activity of cortical...
متن کاملProjection-Specific Visual Feature Encoding by Layer 5 Cortical Subnetworks.
Primary neocortical sensory areas act as central hubs, distributing afferent information to numerous cortical and subcortical structures. However, it remains unclear whether each downstream target receives a distinct version of sensory information. We used in vivo calcium imaging combined with retrograde tracing to monitor visual response properties of three distinct subpopulations of projectio...
