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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A network of fast-spiking cells in the neocortex connected by electrical synapses.
Mario Galarreta,Shaul Hestrin +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that communication through electrical synapses allows excitatory signalling among inhibitory cells and promotes their synchronous spiking, and establishes a network of fast-spiking cells in the neocortex which may play a key role in coordinating cortical activity.
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
Molecular and Physiological Diversity of Cortical Nonpyramidal Cells
Bruno Cauli,Etienne Audinat,Bertrand Lambolez,María Cecilia Angulo,Nicole Ropert,Keisuke Tsuzuki,Shaul Hestrin,Jean Rossier +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that neocortical nonpyramidal neurons display a large diversity in their firing properties and biochemical patterns of co-expression and that both characteristics could be correlated to define discrete subpopulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental regulation of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic currents at a central synapse
TL;DR: The duration of evoked NMDA-receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic currents in the superior colliculus is several times longer at early developmental stages compared to that measured in older animals, indicating that the molecular properties of NMDA receptors are developmentally regulated and thus may be controlling the ability of synapses to change in early life.
