Journal ArticleDOI
How Inhibition Shapes Cortical Activity
TL;DR: Current views of how inhibition regulates the function of cortical neurons are discussed, and a number of important open questions are pointed to.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Inhibition in Visual Cortex: The Logic of Connections Between Molecularly Distinct Interneurons
TL;DR: This work describes a simple and complementary interaction scheme between three large, molecularly distinct interneuron populations in mouse visual cortex: parvalbumin-expressing interneurons strongly inhibit one another but provide little inhibition to other populations, while somatostatin-expresses avoid inhibiting one another yet strongly inhibit all other populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enforcement of temporal fidelity in pyramidal cells by somatic feed-forward inhibition.
TL;DR: Simultaneous somatic and dendritic recordings indicate that feed-forward inhibition is much stronger in the soma than in the dendrite, resulting in a broader integration window in the latter compartment, while allowing dendrites to sum incoming activity over broader time windows.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A possible taxonomical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based interactive system that allows experts to classify neurons with pre-determined criteria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equalizing excitation–inhibition ratios across visual cortical neurons
TL;DR: The equalization of E/I ratios across pyramidal cells reveals an unexpected degree of order in the spatial distribution of synaptic strengths and indicates that the relationship between the cortex’s two opposing forces is stabilized not only in time but also in space.
