Neocortical GABAergic interneurons have a profound impact on cortical circuitry and its
information processing capacity. Distinct subgroups of inhibitory interneurons can be …

BAF (Brg/Brm-associated factors) complexes play important roles in development and are
linked to chromatin plasticity at selected genomic loci. Nevertheless, a full understanding of …

Disinhibition of cortical excitatory cell gate information flow through and between cortical
columns. The major contribution of Martinotti cells (MC) is providing dendritic inhibition to …

TRPV1 is an ion channel activated by heat and pungent agents including capsaicin, and
has been extensively studied in nociception of sensory neurons. However, the location and …

Neocortical excitatory neurons belong to diverse cell types, which can be distinguished by
their dates of birth, laminar location, connectivity, and molecular identities. During …

Sensory information acquired via the large facial whiskers is processed and relayed in the
whisker-to-barrel pathway, which shows multiple somatotopic maps of the receptor periphery. …

Tumor microtubes (TMs) connect glioma cells to a network with considerable relevance for
tumor progression and therapy resistance. However, the determination of TM-…

In rodents, layer IV of the primary somatosensory cortex contains the barrel field, where
individual, large facial whiskers are represented as a dense cluster of cells. In the reeler mouse, …

Neuronal wiring is key to proper neural information processing. Tactile information from the
rodent's whiskers reaches the cortex via distinct anatomical pathways. The lemniscal …

Reelin is an extracellular matrix protein, known for its dual role in neuronal migration during
brain development and in synaptic plasticity at adult stages. During the perinatal phase, …
