Assembly and diversity of long-range inhibitory circuits in the brain KU Leuven
The mammalian neocortex hosts some of the most complex neural circuits in the brain. These typically consist of two main types of nerve cells — excitatory projection neurons which deliver information to other cells over long distances using the neurotransmitter glutamate, and inhibitory interneurons that provide local inhibition by secreting the neurotransmitter GABA. How these cortical circuits compute information remains largely unknown, ...
