Topic: GABA-ergic interneurons

The hippocampal CA1 region continually receives a large array of intra and extra-hippocampal inputs. Local GABA-ergic interneurons in the strata radiatum and lacunosum-moleculare are thought to play a key role in structuring this incoming information. However, little is known about the in vivo electrophysiological characteristics of these superficial interneurons during behaviour. Here, we present ongoing work describing the firing properties of interneurons recorded in the stratum radiatum and lacunosum-moleculare in relation to pyramidal neuron activity and network oscillations in freely mov
