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.

BL-1020: a novel antipsychotic drug with GABAergic activity and low catalepsy, is efficacious in a rat model of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The advantages of BL-1020 for treatment of schizophrenia stem from its being a DA/5HT antagonist and a GABAergic agonist that releases cortical DA and antagonizes amphetamine-induced hyperactivity with reduced catalepsy and sedation.

Auditory inhibitory gating in the amygdala: Single-unit analysis in the behaving rat

TL;DR: The existence of inhibitory gating in the amygdala is demonstrated and a detailed description of the basic properties of this rapid neural inhibition that could play an important role in filtering stimulus input is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auditory steady state response deficits are associated with symptom severity and poor functioning in patients with psychotic disorder.

TL;DR: Severity of hallucinatory symptom and community functioning, particularly independent living/meaningful activity, were significantly and independently associated with the 40 Hz ASSR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Translational and developmental perspective on N-methyl-D-aspartate synaptic deficits in schizophrenia

TL;DR: The data attributing the disorganization symptoms of schizophrenia to a failure of executive, prefrontal cortical processes are summarized, and the hypothesis that this failure reflects an impairment in N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic neurotransmission is described, that is likely to involve both the dysregulated function of NMDA synapses, as well as the physical loss of NMda synapses.

Striatal Transcriptome and Interactome Analysis of Shank3-overexpressing Mice Reveals the Connectivity between Shank3 and mTORC1 Signaling

TL;DR: A protein interaction-mediated connectivity between Shank3 and certain upstream regulators of m TORC1 that might contribute to the abnormal striatal mTORC1 activity and to the manic-like behaviors of Shank3 TG mice is suggested.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
