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

Aidan C. Johantges, Meretta A. Hanson, Alec H. Marshall, Alireza Safa, Emily K. Payne, Neil R. Hariths, Noor Bibi, Jason C. Wester

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

Meretta A. Hanson, Noor Bibi, Alireza Safa, Devipriyanka Nagarajan, Alec H. Marshall, Aidan C. Johantges, Jason C. Wester

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.

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

Alec H. Marshall, Danielle J. Boyle, Meretta A. Hanson, Devipriyanka Nagarajan, Noor Bibi, Alireza Safa, Aidan C. Johantges, Jason C. Wester

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