A network of fast-spiking cells in the neocortex connected by electrical synapses
- M. Galarreta, S. Hestrin
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 4 November 1999
Encoding of information in the cortex is thought to depend on synchronous firing of cortical neurons. Inhibitory neurons are known to be critical in the coordination of cortical activity, but how… Expand
Molecular and Physiological Diversity of Cortical Nonpyramidal Cells
- B. Cauli, E. Audinat, +5 authors J. Rossier
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 15 May 1997
The physiological and molecular features of nonpyramidal cells were investigated in acute slices of sensory-motor cortex using whole-cell recordings combined with single-cell RT-PCR to detect… Expand
Petilla terminology: nomenclature of features of GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex
- G. Ascoli, L. Alonso-Nanclares, +36 authors R. Yuste
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 July 2008
Neuroscience produces a vast amount of data from an enormous diversity of neurons. A neuronal classification system is essential to organize such data and the knowledge that is derived from them.… Expand
Analysis of excitatory synaptic action in pyramidal cells using whole‐cell recording from rat hippocampal slices.
- S. Hestrin, R. Nicoll, D. Perkel, P. Sah
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of physiology
- 1 March 1990
1. The pharmacological and biophysical properties of excitatory synapses in the CA1 region of the hippocampus were studied using patch electrodes and whole‐cell recording from thin slices. 2.… Expand
Electrical and chemical synapses among parvalbumin fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons in adult mouse neocortex
- M. Galarreta, S. Hestrin
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 4 September 2002
Networks of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic interneurons connected via electrical and chemical synapses are thought to play an important role in detecting and promoting synchronous activity in the… Expand
Frequency-dependent synaptic depression and the balance of excitation and inhibition in the neocortex
- M. Galarreta, S. Hestrin
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature Neuroscience
- 1 November 1998
The stability of cortical neuron activity in vivo suggests that the firing rates of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons are dynamically adjusted. Using dual recordings from excitatory pyramidal… Expand
Electrical synapses between Gaba-Releasing interneurons
- M. Galarreta, S. Hestrin
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Reviews Neuroscience
- 1 June 2001
Although gap junctions were first demonstrated in the mammalian brain about 30 years ago, the distribution and role of electrical synapses have remained elusive. A series of recent reports has… Expand
Developmental regulation of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic currents at a central synapse
- S. Hestrin
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 25 June 1992
THE central nervous system has extraordinary plasticity in early life. This is thought to involve N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors1 which, along with the non-NMDA receptors, mediate fast… Expand
Mechanisms generating the time course of dual component excitatory synaptic currents recorded in hippocampal slices
- S. Hestrin, P. Sah, R. Nicoll
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Neuron
- 1 September 1990
We studied with the whole-cell recording techniques, the mechanisms underlying the time course of the slow N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), and fast non-NMDA receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic… Expand
Subthreshold Mechanisms Underlying State-Dependent Modulation of Visual Responses
- C. Bennett, S. Arroyo, S. Hestrin
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 16 October 2013
The processing of sensory information varies widely across behavioral states. However, little is known about how behavioral states modulate the intracellular activity of cortical neurons to effect… Expand
