Sleep deprivation following hippocampus-dependent learning downscales synaptic inputs to lateral and medial entorhinal cortex interneurons
Vinodh Balendran, Jiyang Liu, Katelin Wu, Alvin Dong, Sara J. Aton
This study examines how brief sleep deprivation after learning affects synaptic structures of SST+ interneurons in the entorhinal cortex, revealing subregion-specific changes in dendritic spines and excitatory/inhibitory balance.
