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.

Dopamine and Glutamate Hypotheses of Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia predicts that a disrupted glutamatergic transmission causes the core cognitive deficits of schizophrenia and may lead to a secondary disruption in dopamine transmission that in turn causes psychosis.

La Corteza cerebral más allá de la corteza

TL;DR: Agarwal et al. as mentioned in this paper define a sistema complejo de fibras cortico-corticales, comisuralesy de proyeccion constituyen the salida de cada modulo hacia otras areas corticales o estruc-tura subcortices; de esta manera, la corteza cerebral controla el pensamiento, la conciencia, la atencion, la memoria, el lenguaje, actividad motora, las

Immunohistochemical visualization of mouse interneuron subtypes.

TL;DR: A journey to find the necessary immunological reagents for studying GABAergic interneurons of the mouse hippocampus was described, finding antibodies with a high rating on pAbmAbs, stainings with high signal-to-noise ratios and location of the immunostained cells in accordance with the literature could be obtained, making these antibodies suitable choices for studying the GABAergic system.

Neurosteroid Perturbation and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Schizophrenia: From the Mechanisms to the Treatment

TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the current understanding of these neurosteroids in schizophrenia, their potential antipsychotic role, and discusses new avenues for this area of schizophrenia research.

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.

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.

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.
