(a) In the 'classical' pathway, multiple pyramidal cells (for simplicity, only one pyramidal cell is shown: P 1) excite the inhibitory interneuron (I) at its soma. The interneuron then inhibits P ...

First, it was generated by a specific type of inhibitory interneuron—the LTS cells—that previously had not been implicated in synchronous cortical activity. Second, synchrony could occur ...

They used advanced brain imaging and light-activated cell techniques. During quiet, restful periods, they found that activating a single interneuron triggered a coordinated response across other ...

The experimental treatment used to treat the prolonged seizures of a sea lion may offer insights into treatment approaches ...
