Brain-state- and cell-type-specific firing of hippocampal interneurons in vivo

…, JDB Roberts, PM Cobden, G Buzsáki, P Somogyi - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
Neural-network oscillations at distinct frequencies have been implicated in the encoding,
consolidation and retrieval of information in the hippocampus. Some GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid…

Neuronal diversity and temporal dynamics: the unity of hippocampal circuit operations

T Klausberger, P Somogyi - Science, 2008 - science.org
In the cerebral cortex, diverse types of neurons form intricate circuits and cooperate in time
for the processing and storage of information. Recent advances reveal a spatiotemporal …

Defined types of cortical interneurone structure space and spike timing in the hippocampus

P Somogyi, T Klausberger - The Journal of physiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The cerebral cortex encodes, stores and combines information about the internal and external
environment in rhythmic activity of multiple frequency ranges. Neurones of the cortex can …

The metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluRlα) is concentrated at perisynaptic membrane of neuronal subpopulations as detected by immunogold reaction

…, JDB Roberts, E Mulvihill, RAJ Mcllhinney, P Somogyi - Neuron, 1993 - cell.com
An antiserum to mGluRla labeled a 160 kd protein in immunoblots of membranes derived
from rat brain or cells transfected with mCluRla. lmmunoreactivity for mCluR1 a was present in …

A new type of specific interneuron in the monkey hippocampus forming synapses exclusively with the axon initial segments of pyramidal cells

P Somogyi, MG Nunzi, A Gorio, AD Smith - Brain research, 1983 - Elsevier
By means of Golgi staining and gold-toning, we have found an interneuron in the pyramidal
cell layer of the hippocampus which forms synapses exclusively on the axon initial segments …

Input‐dependent synaptic targeting of α2‐subunit‐containing GABAA receptors in synapses of hippocampal pyramidal cells of the rat

G Nyíri, TF Freund, P Somogyi - European Journal of …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Pyramidal cells, expressing at least 14 subunits of the heteropentameric GABA A receptor,
receive GABAergic input on their soma and proximal dendrites from basket cells, activating …

Glutamatergic synapses on oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the hippocampus

DE Bergles, JDB Roberts, P Somogyi, CE Jahr - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
Fast excitatory neurotransmission in the central nervous system occurs at specialized synaptic
junctions between neurons, where a high concentration of glutamate directly activates …

Salient features of synaptic organisation in the cerebral cortex

P Somogyi, G Tamas, R Lujan, EH Buhl - Brain research reviews, 1998 - Elsevier
The neuronal and synaptic organisation of the cerebral cortex appears exceedingly complex,
and the definition of a basic cortical circuit in terms of defined classes of cells and …

Segregation of different GABAA receptors to synaptic and extrasynaptic membranes of cerebellar granule cells

Z Nusser, W Sieghart, P Somogyi - Journal of Neuroscience, 1998 - Soc Neuroscience
Two types of GABA A receptor-mediated inhibition (phasic and tonic) have been described
in cerebellar granule cells, although these cells receive GABAergic input only from a single …

Perisynaptic location of metabotropic glutamate receptors mGluR1 and mGluR5 on dendrites and dendritic spines in the rat hippocampus

…, JDB Roberts, R Shigemoto, P Somogyi - European Journal of …, 1996 - Wiley Online Library
Ionotropic and metabotropic (mGluR1a) glutamate receptors were reported to be segregated
from each other within the postsynaptic membrane at individual synapses. In order to …
