Summary
This paper explores how the type of inhibition provided by thalamic interneurons can alter the input selectivity of thalamocortical neurons, proposing a model where alterations in GABA release properties result in rapid changes in input selectivity without requiring structural changes in the network.
Categories
Neuroscience: The paper investigates how neurons select for their many inputs, focusing on the role of thalamic interneurons in altering the input selectivity of thalamocortical neurons.
Brain function: The study contributes to understanding of brain function by exploring how individual neurons extract information from complex patterns of synaptic input.
GABA signaling: The research examines the role of GABA signaling within the mammalian thalamus, particularly the impact of different types of GABA release on the transfer of sensory information within the thalamus.
