Inhibitory interneurons comprise a diverse subpopulation of cells that are critical to circuit function. How distinct inhibitory microcircuits control long-range projections remains poorly understood. A recent study by Lu and colleagues uncovered a unidirectional microcircuit of prefrontal chandelier cells that preferentially innervate and suppress long-range amygdala-projecting pyramidal cells.
抑制性中间神经元由多种细胞组成,对回路功能至关重要。不同的抑制性微回路如何控制长程投射仍知之甚少。最近,Lu 及其同事的一项研究揭示了前额叶篮状细胞的一个单向微回路,该微回路优先支配并抑制长程投射到杏仁核的锥体神经元。
