Molecular and Physiological Diversity of Cortical Nonpyramidal Cells

- 15 May 1997
The results indicate that neocortical nonpyramidal neurons display a large diversity in their firing properties and biochemical patterns of co-expression and that both characteristics could be correlated to define discrete subpopulations.
Glutamate Released from Glial Cells Synchronizes Neuronal Activity in the Hippocampus

It is demonstrated in hippocampal slices of 2- to 5-week-old rats that glutamate released from glial cells generates slow transient currents (STCs) mediated by the activation of NMDA receptors in pyramidal cells, indicating a nonsynaptic origin of the source of glutamate.

This study shows that combinations of multiple independent criteria define distinct neocortical populations of interneurons potentially involved in specific functions.
Afferent connections of the medial frontal cortex of the rat. II. Cortical and subcortical afferents

- BiologyThe Journal of comparative neurology
- 20 February 1995
Cortical and subcortical afferents to subdivisions of the medial frontal cortex in the rat were analyzed with fluorescent retrograde tracers and it was found that the number of retrogradely labeled cells was larger when the injection site was located in area IL.
Selective Excitation of Subtypes of Neocortical Interneurons by Nicotinic Receptors
- J. Porter, B. Cauli, K. Tsuzuki, B. Lambolez, J. Rossier, E. Audinat
- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience
- 1 July 1999
A role for non-α7 nicotinic receptors in the selective excitation of a subpopulation of neocortical interneurons is provided, providing a cellular basis for the neuronal regulation of cortical blood flow mediated by acetylcholine.
Deficiency of the Microglial Receptor CX3CR1 Impairs Postnatal Functional Development of Thalamocortical Synapses in the Barrel Cortex
- Maki Hoshiko, I. Arnoux, E. Avignone, N. Yamamoto, E. Audinat
- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience

Results show that reciprocal interactions between neurons and microglial cells control the functional maturation of cortical synapses.
Status Epilepticus Induces a Particular Microglial Activation State Characterized by Enhanced Purinergic Signaling
- E. Avignone, L. Ulmann, F. Levavasseur, F. Rassendren, E. Audinat
- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience
- 10 September 2008
This study provides evidence for the existence of a particular microglial activation state after a status epilepticus and provides pharmacological evidence that microglia membrane currents mediated by the activation of P2 receptors were increased 48 h after SE.
Two types of nicotinic receptors mediate an excitation of neocortical layer I interneurons.
- E. Christophe, A. Roebuck, J. Staiger, D. Lavery, S. Charpak, E. Audinat
- BiologyJournal of Neurophysiology
- 1 September 2002
The results suggest that acetylcholine released in layer I may induce a disinhibition of the cortical network through activation of nicotinic receptors expressed by layer I interneurons.
Identification of sleep-promoting neurons in vitro

- 27 April 2000
It is proposed that the reciprocal inhibitory interaction of such VLPO neurons with the noradrenergic, serotoninergic and cholinergic waking systems to which they project is a key factor for promoting sleep.
