four classes of GABAergic interneurons were defined: vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), neurogliaform (NG), somatostatin (Sst) and fast-spiking parvalbumin (FS-PV). 9, 10, 11 In the present work ...

We found that in mice, following eye opening, fast-spiking, parvalbumin-positive GABAergic interneurons had well-defined orientation tuning preferences and that subsequent visual experience ...

Fast-spiking interneurons were of particular interest to the scientists, Nomura noted, as they are the primary driver for the "critical period"—a time window during neonatal development when ...

But if you continue to press them, they might respond with the familiar manta: "fast-spiking parvalbumin-positive interneurons" If parvalbumin (a calcium-binding protein found in muscle and ...

Moore and Brown neuroscience doctoral student Hyeyoung Shin didn't set out to find metronome neurons, which the researchers call gamma regular nonsensory fast-spiking interneurons. Instead ...

The scientists initially wanted to show how the specialized brain cells, called fast-spiking interneurons, cause movement disorders, such as Tourette's syndrome, dystonia, and dyskinesia.

A rare group of cells buried deep in the brain has the power to make or break your habits. Fast-spiking interneurons, shown here in purple, in the dorsolateral striatum in mice, act as a key signaling ...

The findings show the psychedelic DOI (2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine) lessened anxiety in mice and rats while activating the ventral hippocampus and so-called fast-spiking interneurons there.

The authors studied two apparently different classes of fast-spiking interneurons, only to discover that they were actually looking at the same piece of 'hardware' which had the ability to ...

The latticework of extracellular protein that surrounds brain cells forms a particularly dense mesh around fast-spiking interneurons. Why do these cells need such thick coats? In the July 17 Nature ...

The drug, named DOI (2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine), was found to activate special brain cells, known as fast-spiking interneurons, in an area of the brain involved in controlling emotions and ...
