The paper identifies functional subtypes of hippocampal somatostatin-expressing interneurons using transcriptomic features and transgenic mouse models.

The paper shows that brief synaptic inhibition can persistently silence fast-spiking interneurons for hundreds of milliseconds, impacting circuit function through disinhibition of pyramidal cells.

This study shows that early-life adversity in female mice increases avoidance behavior during diestrus, linked to progesterone and allopregnanolone signaling, with ovariectomy and receptor antagonism affecting these behaviors.
