TL;DR: A representative group of researchers are convened to agree on a set of terms to describe the anatomical, physiological and molecular features of GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex, and the resulting terminology might provide a stepping stone towards a future classification of these complex and heterogeneous cells.

TL;DR: This work shows that the Ca2+ permeability of neuronal NMDARs is under the control of the cyclic AMP–protein kinase A (cAMP-PKA) signaling cascade and provides a new mechanism whereby PKA regulates the induction of LTP.

TL;DR: This work outlines a specific working hypothesis for how BG-forebrain circuits could utilize an internally computed reinforcement signal to direct song learning, and includes a number of general concepts borrowed from the mammalian BG literature, including a dopaminergic reward prediction error and dopamine-mediated plasticity at corticostriatal synapses.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated using two-photon calcium imaging that activation of single synapses on aspiny dendrites of neocortical fast spiking (FS) interneurons creates highly localized calcium microdomains, often restricted to less than 1 microm of dendritic space.

TL;DR: The combination of multiphoton stimulation and optical probing could enable systematic analysis of circuits and produce sustained depolarization, insensitive to sodium channel blockers yet sensitive to antioxidants.
