Dendritic excitation–inhibition balance shapes cerebellar output during motor behaviour
Feedforward excitatory and inhibitory circuits regulate cerebellar output, but how these circuits interact to shape the somatodendritic excitability of Purkinje cells during motor behaviour remains unresolved. Here we perform dendritic and somatic patch-clamp recordings in vivo combined with optogenetic silencing of interneurons to investigate how dendritic excitation and inhibition generates b...
متن کاملDifferent balance of excitation and inhibition in forward and feedback circuits of rat visual cortex.
Different cortical areas are linked reciprocally via forward and feedback connections. Forward connections are involved in the representation of retinal images, whereas feedback pathways may play a role in the selection and interpretation of visual information. To examine the synaptic mechanisms of forward and feedback connections between primary and secondary visual cortical areas directly, we...

متن کاملChanges in the balance between motor cortical excitation and inhibition in focal, task specific dystonia.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used in a double pulse paradigm to investigate the excitability of intrinsic motor cortical circuits in 15 patients with focal task specific dystonia of the right hand and a group of eight age matched controls. The left hemisphere was examined in five patients; in the remainder, both hemispheres were tested. There was no significant difference in stimu...
