Developmental Divergence of Sensory Stimulus Representation in Cortical Interneurons

Rahel Kästli, Rasmus Vighagen, Alexander van der Bourg…·Theofanis Karayannis

The paper identifies a developmental transition in VIP+ and SST+ interneurons in the mouse barrel cortex around P14, where their responses to multi-whisker stimuli diverge and their thalamic inputs shift.
