[PDF][PDF] Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses

MJ McGinley, M Vinck, J Reimer, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and the …

The developmental integration of cortical interneurons into a functional network

R BatistaBrito, G Fishell - Current topics in developmental biology, 2009 - Elsevier
The central goal of this manuscript is to survey our present knowledge of how cortical interneuron
subtypes are generated. To achieve this, we will first define what is meant by subtype …

Modulation of cortical circuits by top-down processing and arousal state in health and disease

R Batista-Brito, E Zagha, JM Ratliff, M Vinck - Current opinion in …, 2018 - Elsevier
In this review, we explore how contextual modulations of sensory processing are implemented
within the local cortical circuit. We focus on contextual influences of global arousal state (…

Developmental diversification of cortical inhibitory interneurons

…, RC Bandler, R Machold, R Batista Brito… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
Diverse subsets of cortical interneurons have vital roles in higher-order brain functions. To
investigate how this diversity is generated, here we used single-cell RNA sequencing to …

[PDF][PDF] Arousal and locomotion make distinct contributions to cortical activity patterns and visual encoding

M Vinck, R Batista-Brito, U Knoblich, JA Cardin - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
Spontaneous and sensory-evoked cortical activity is highly state-dependent, yet relatively little
is known about transitions between distinct waking states. Patterns of activity in mouse V1 …

The distinct temporal origins of olfactory bulb interneuron subtypes

R Batista-Brito, J Close, R Machold… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons are a heterogeneous population produced beginning in
embryogenesis and continuing through adulthood. Understanding how this diversity arises will …

Viral manipulation of functionally distinct interneurons in mice, non-human primates and humans

…, O Devinsky, BL Sabatini, R Batista-Brito… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Recent success in identifying gene-regulatory elements in the context of recombinant adeno-associated
virus vectors has enabled cell-type-restricted gene expression. However, within …

[PDF][PDF] The cell-intrinsic requirement of Sox6 for cortical interneuron development

R Batista-Brito, E Rossignol, J Hjerling-Leffler… - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
We describe the role of Sox6 in cortical interneuron development, from a cellular to a behavioral
level. We identify Sox6 as a protein expressed continuously within MGE-derived cortical …

[PDF][PDF] Pioneer GABA cells comprise a subpopulation of hub neurons in the developing hippocampus

MA Picardo, P Guigue, P Bonifazi, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Connectivity in the developing hippocampus displays a functional organization particularly
effective in supporting network synchronization, as it includes superconnected hub neurons. …

Satb1 is an activity-modulated transcription factor required for the terminal differentiation and connectivity of medial ganglionic eminence-derived cortical interneurons

J Close, H Xu, NDM García, R Batista-Brito… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Although previous work identified transcription factors crucial for the specification and migration
of parvalbumin (PV)-expressing and somatostatin (SST)-expressing interneurons, the …
