Topic: somatostatin-expressing neurons

Neuronal diversity in the cortex is the largest amongst GABAergic neurons. In the hippocampus, GABAergic cells have been sorted in several groups based on their morphology, firing patterns, connectivity, molecular profiling, and RNA content. Identification and manipulation of these neuron types is a prerequisite to deciphering their role in circuit dynamics, behavior, and the computational mechanisms of the cortical networks they are embedded in. We first grouped the virtual totality of GABAergic neurons into four major families. Parvalbumin-expressing neurons, Somatostatin-expressing neurons,
