Activity-dependent neuronal plasticity is a fundamental mechanism through which the nervous
system adapts to sensory experience. Several lines of evidence suggest that parvalbumin …

How neuronal connections are established and organized into functional networks
determines brain function. In the mammalian cerebral cortex, different classes of GABAergic …

The function of cortical GABAergic interneurons is largely determined by their integration
into specific neural circuits, but the mechanisms controlling the wiring of these cells remain …

Neural circuit assembly relies on the precise synchronization of developmental processes,
such as cell migration and axon targeting, but the cell-autonomous mechanisms coordinating …

GABAergic activity is thought to influence developing neocortical sensory circuits. Yet the
late postnatal maturation of local layer (L)4 circuits suggests alternate sources of GABAergic …

Animals can choose to act upon, or to ignore, sensory stimuli, depending on circumstance
and prior knowledge. This flexibility is thought to depend on neural inhibition, through …

GABAergic interneurons play key roles in cortical circuits, yet little is known about their early
connectivity. Here we use glutamate uncaging and a novel optogenetic strategy to track …

We built a rig to perform patch-clamp and extracellular recordings from the same neuron in
vivo. In this setup, the axes of two micromanipulators are precisely aligned and their relative …

This work explored hybrid films of silver nanowires (AgNWs) with indium zinc oxide (IZO) for
developing high-performance and low-cost electrocorticography (ECoG) electrodes. The …

Subplate neurons (SPNs) are thought to play a role in nascent sensory processing in
neocortex. To better understand how heterogeneity within this population relates to emergent …
