Human neurons undergo protracted functional maturation into adulthood

This study shows human cortical neurons mature slowly into adulthood, unlike mice, and develops a model to simulate this process across species.

Cadherins orchestrate specific patterns of perisomatic inhibition onto distinct pyramidal cell populations

The paper identifies cadherins as mediators of cell type-specific inhibitory connectivity between pyramidal neurons and interneurons in the neocortex.

Activity-dependent expression of Fezf2 regulates inhibitory synapse formation in pyramidal cells

The paper investigates how activity-dependent expression of Fezf2 regulates inhibitory synapse formation in pyramidal cells in mice.

Prefrontal cortical ChAT-VIP interneurons provide local excitation by cholinergic synaptic transmission and control attention

The paper identifies ChAT-VIP interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex that use cholinergic transmission to excite neurons and influence attention.

Transient Network Synchrony Of The Developing Medial Entorhinal Cortex

This study shows that developing medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) networks in rodents are synchronously active in spatially-grouped modules, which may help establish spatially-tuned firing properties.
