TLDR
Investigation of the GABA system in rodent, primate and human brain and the characterization of changes in specific phenotypic subclasses of interneurons in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder will undoubtedly provide important new insights into how the integration of this transmitter system may be altered in neuropsychiatric disease.

Epigenetic regulation on GABRB2 isoforms expression: developmental variations and disruptions in psychotic disorders.

TL;DR: These findings demonstrated that GABRB2 expression was under epigenetic regulation that varied with development, genotype and disease status, and these regulatory mechanisms were observably disrupted in SCZ and BPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

GABRB2 in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: disease association, gene expression and clinical correlations

TL;DR: The findings highlight the importance of GABRB2 in neuropsychiatric disease aetiology, with respect to haplotype association, as well as reduction of and temporal effects on gene expression in both SCZ and BPD, but to a lesser extent in the latter, supporting the suggestion that functional psychosis can be conceptualized as a continuous spectrum of clinical phenotypes rather than as distinct categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of neurocognition between drug-free patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

TL;DR: Neurocognitive tasks had better discriminative power for medicated patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder than for drug-free patients, and medication effects did not seem to significantly change the pattern of the neurocognitive task responses of patients with psychosis.

Post-weaning social isolation rearing influences the expression of molecules related to inhibitory neurotransmission and structural plasticity in the amygdala of adult rats.

TL;DR: The results indicate that isolation-rearing influences positively inhibitory neurotransmission and neuronal structural plasticity in the amygdala, probably through PSA-NCAM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Schizophrenia: a unique translational opportunity in behavioral neuroendocrinology.

TL;DR: Data on the importance of gestational stress exposure to the etiology of schizophrenia-like behavioral, endocrine and molecular phenotypes will be presented and differences will be highlighted between the preparations that are commonly used in most laboratory investigations.

Cholinergic innervation of cortex by the basal forebrain : cytochemistry and cortical connections of the septal area, diagonal band nuclei, nucleus basalis (substantia innominata), and hypothalamus in the rhesus monkey

TL;DR: The organization of projections from the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain to neocortex and associated structures was investigated in the rhesus monkey with the help of horseradish peroxidase transport, acetyl‐cholinesterase histochemistry, and choline acetyltransferase immunohis‐tochemistry.

Synchronized oscillations in interneuron networks driven by metabotropic glutamate receptor activation

TL;DR: It is proposed that interneuron network oscillations, in conjunction with intrinsic membrane resonances and long-loop (such as thalamocortical) interactions, contribute to 40-Hz rhythms in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma (40-100 Hz) oscillation in the hippocampus of the behaving rat

TL;DR: It is suggested that gamma oscillation emerges from an interaction between intrinsic oscillatory properties of interneurons and the network properties of the dentate gyrus and that Gamma oscillation in the CA3-CA1 circuitry is suppressed by either the hilar region or the entorhinal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two networks of electrically coupled inhibitory neurons in neocortex

TL;DR: Two functionally distinct inhibitory networks comprising either fast-spiking (FS) or low-threshold spiking (LTS) neurons are described, which may allow each inhibitory network to function independently.
