Synchronous Activity of Inhibitory Networks in Neocortex Requires Electrical Synapses Containing Connexin36
Inhibitory interneurons often generate synchronous activity as an emergent property of their interconnections. To determine the role of electrical synapses in such activity, we constructed mice expressing histochemical reporters in place of the gap junction protein Cx36. Localization of the reporter with somatostatin and parvalbumin suggested that Cx36 was expressed largely by interneurons. Ele...
متن کاملComplex synchronous behavior in interneuronal networks with delayed inhibitory and fast electrical synapses.
Networks of fast-spiking interneurons are crucial for the generation of neural oscillations in the brain. Here we study the synchronous behavior of interneuronal networks that are coupled by delayed inhibitory and fast electrical synapses. We find that both coupling modes play a crucial role by the synchronization of the network. In addition, delayed inhibitory synapses affect the emerging osci...
متن کاملSynaptogenesis of electrical and GABAergic synapses of fast-spiking inhibitory neurons in the neocortex.
Parvalbumin-expressing fast-spiking (FS) cells are interconnected via GABAergic and electrical synapses and represent a major class of inhibitory interneurons in the neocortex. Synaptic connections among FS cells are critical for regulating network oscillations in the mature neocortex. However, it is unclear whether synaptic connections among FS interneurons also play a central role in the gene...
متن کاملSynchronized gamma-frequency inhibition in neocortex depends on excitatory-inhibitory interactions but not electrical synapses.
Synaptic inhibition plays a crucial role in the precise timing of spiking activity in the cerebral cortex. Synchronized, rhythmic inhibitory activity in the gamma (30-80 Hz) range is thought to be especially important for the active, information-processing neocortex, but the circuit mechanisms that give rise to synchronized inhibition are uncertain. In particular, the relative contributions of ...
متن کاملSynchronous Firing in a Population of Inhibitory Interneurons Coupled by Electrical and Chemical Synapses
The synchronization phenomena occurring in a population of Fast Spiking interneurons, coupled by electrical and inhibitory synapses, are investigated. It is shown numerically that there are regions of the coupling parameters space where synchronous regimes occur. The corresponding theoretical results agree with the numerical ones. It is shown that the presence of the electrical coupling in a he...
