Sleep deprivation following hippocampus-dependent learning downscales synaptic inputs to lateral and medial entorhinal cortex interneurons

Vinodh Balendran, Jiyang Liu, Katelin Wu…·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.

Brief sleep disruption alters synaptic structures among hippocampal and neocortical somatostatin-expressing interneurons

Frank Raven, Alexis Vega-Medina, Kailynn Schmidt…·Sara J. Aton

This study investigates how brief sleep disruption affects synaptic structures of SST+ interneurons in hippocampus and neocortex, finding region-specific changes in spine density and size.
