Cortical Interneurons Refuse to Follow the PAK
The tangential migration of GABAergic interneurons to the cortex requires the activity of several transcription factors, but the mechanisms involved have remained elusive. In this issue of Neuron, Rubenstein and colleagues demonstrate that the homeobox proteins Dlx1 and Dlx2 promote interneuron migration in part by preventing the premature expression of PAK3, a serine/threonine kinase that is l...
متن کاملCortical NO interneurons: from embryogenesis to functions
Neuronal processing and physiology of cortical circuits rely on a delicate interplay between glutamatergic excitatory neurons and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons in a spatially, temporally, and cell-type specific manner. Understanding these processes is further complicated by the large diversity characterizing the cerebral cortex (Ascoli et al., 2008; DeFelipe et al., 2013). Although recent a...
متن کاملModeling the Electrical Diversity of Cortical Interneurons
Neuron models, in particular conductance-basedcompartmental models, often have numerous parameters thatcannot be directly determined experimentally and must beconstrained by an optimization procedure. A common prac-tice in evaluating the utility of such procedures is using apreviously developed model to generate surrogate data (e.g.,traces of spikes following step curren...
متن کاملParvalbumin-Expressing Interneurons Linearly Transform Cortical Responses to Visual Stimuli
The response of cortical neurons to a sensory stimulus is shaped by the network in which they are embedded. Here we establish a role of parvalbumin (PV)-expressing cells, a large class of inhibitory neurons that target the soma and perisomatic compartments of pyramidal cells, in controlling cortical responses. By bidirectionally manipulating PV cell activity in visual cortex we show that these ...
متن کاملCapacity Decisions in the General Hospital: When Can You Refuse to Follow a Person's Wishes?
LESSONS LEARNED AT THE INTERFACE OF MEDICINE AND PSYCHIATRY: The Psychiatric Consultation Service at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) sees medical and surgical inpatients with comorbid psychiatric symptoms and conditions. Such consultations require the integration of medical and psychiatric knowledge. During their thrice-weekly rounds, Dr. Huffman and Dr. Stern discuss the diagnosis and man...
