TLDR
Each subtype of cells made GABAergic synapses onto relatively specific portions of cortical cells, but similar domains were innervated by multiple classes of GABA cells.Abstract:
Physiological, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of non-pyramidal cells in frontal cortex of young rats were studied in vitro by whole-cell recording and biocytin injection. Several groups of GABAergic non-pyramidal cells were identified: (i) parvalbumin fast-spiking (FS) cells with low input resistances and spikes of short duration, including extended plexus (basket) cells and chandelier cells. These cells showed abrupt episodes of non-adapting repetitive discharges; (ii) late-spiking (LS) cells exhibiting slowly developing ramp depolarizations, including neurogliaform cells; (iii) the remaining groups contained both burst-spiking (BS) or regular-spiking (RS) non-pyramidal (NP) cells. BSNP cells exhibited bursting activity (two or more spikes on slow depolarizing humps) from hyperpolarized potentials. Both these physiological types corresponded to a range of morphologies: (i) somatostatin-containing Martinotti cells with ascending axonal arbors to layer I (some were also positive for calbindin D28k); (ii) VIP-containing double bouquet cells with descending axonal arbors as well as arcade cells (these included small cells immunoreactive for CCK or calretinin). Each subtype of cells made GABAergic synapses onto relatively specific portions of cortical cells, but similar domains were innervated by multiple classes of GABA cells.read more

Mechanisms of Gamma Oscillations
György Buzsáki,Xiao Jing Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying gamma oscillations are reviewed and empirical questions and controversial conceptual issues are outlined, finding that gamma-band rhythmogenesis is inextricably tied to perisomatic inhibition.

Critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits.
TL;DR: The reactivation of this process, and subsequent recovery of function in conditions such as amblyopia, can now be studied with realistic circuit models that might generalize across systems.

Synaptic mechanisms of synchronized gamma oscillations in inhibitory interneuron networks
TL;DR: Experimental analysis in the hippocampus and the neocortex and computational analysis suggests that synaptic specialization turns interneuron networks into robust gamma frequency oscillators.

Comparative electrophysiology of pyramidal and sparsely spiny stellate neurons of the neocortex.
TL;DR: Slices of sensorimotor and anterior cingulate cortex from guinea pigs were maintained in vitro and bathed in a normal physiological medium, observing three distinct neuronal classes of electrophysiological behavior; these were regular spiking, bursting, and fast spiking.

Active propagation of somatic action potentials into neocortical pyramidal cell dendrites
Greg J. Stuart,Bert Sakmann +1 more
TL;DR: To determine the site of initiation of action potentials, simultaneous whole-cell recordings were made from the soma and the apical dendrite or axon of the same cell and showed thataction potentials are initiated first in the axon and then actively propagate back into the dendritic tree.
