Dendrite-targeting inhibitory interneurons form biased circuits with deep and superficial pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1

The paper investigates synaptic connectivity and physiology of dendrite-targeting interneurons in hippocampal CA1, revealing cell-type-specific circuits between deep and superficial pyramidal cells.

Development of differential sublaminar feedforward inhibitory circuits in CA1 hippocampus requires Satb2

This study shows that SATB2 is required for superficial pyramidal cell differentiation and biased feedforward inhibition in CA1 hippocampus by suppressing PV+ interneuron synapse formation.

Neural stem and progenitor cells support and protect adult hippocampal function via vascular endothelial growth factor secretion.

This study shows that adult hippocampal NSPCs secrete VEGF, which supports and protects hippocampal function independently of neurogenesis.

Arid1b haploinsufficiency in cortical inhibitory interneurons causes cell-type-dependent changes in cellular and synaptic development

This study shows that Arid1b haploinsufficiency in inhibitory interneurons leads to cell-type-specific synaptic and developmental changes in ASD.

Arid1b haploinsufficiency in pyramidal neurons causes cellular and circuit changes in neocortex but is not sufficient to produce behavioral or seizure phenotypes

This study shows that Arid1b haploinsufficiency in excitatory neurons alters membrane properties and synaptic connectivity but does not cause social or seizure phenotypes.
