Disynaptic Inhibition between Neocortical Pyramidal Cells Mediated by Martinotti Cells
Reliable activation of inhibitory pathways is essential for maintaining the balance between excitation and inhibition during cortical activity. Little is known, however, about the activation of these pathways at the level of the local neocortical microcircuit. We report a disynaptic inhibitory pathway among neocortical pyramidal cells (PCs). Inhibitory responses were evoked in layer 5 PCs follo...
متن کاملParvalbumin- and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-expressing neocortical interneurons impose differential inhibition on Martinotti cells
Disinhibition of cortical excitatory cell gate information flow through and between cortical columns. The major contribution of Martinotti cells (MC) is providing dendritic inhibition to excitatory neurons and therefore they are a main component of disinhibitory connections. Here we show by means of optogenetics that MC in layers II/III of the mouse primary somatosensory cortex are inhibited by...
متن کاملDendritic resonance in rat neocortical pyramidal cells.
Dendritic integration of synaptic signals is likely to be an important process by which nerve cells encode synaptic input into spike output. However, the response properties of dendrites to time-varying inputs are largely unknown. Here, I determine the transfer impedance of the apical dendrite in layer V pyramidal cells by dual whole cell patch-clamp recordings in slices of rat somatosensory co...
متن کاملTarget-Specific Expression of Presynaptic NMDA Receptors in Neocortical Microcircuits
Traditionally, NMDA receptors are located postsynaptically; yet, putatively presynaptic NMDA receptors (preNMDARs) have been reported. Although implicated in controlling synaptic plasticity, their function is not well understood and their expression patterns are debated. We demonstrate that, in layer 5 of developing mouse visual cortex, preNMDARs specifically control synaptic transmission at py...
متن کاملReduced compartmental models of neocortical pyramidal cells.
Model neurons composed of hundreds of compartments are currently used for studying phenomena at the level of the single cell. Large network simulations require a simplified model of a single neuron that retains the electrotonic and synaptic integrative properties of the real cell. We introduce a method for reducing the number of compartments of neocortical pyramidal neuron models (from 400 to 8...
