Cell type-specific rearrangement of perisomatic inhibition in the valproate mouse model of autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves disrupted excitatory/inhibitory balance in brain circuits, with interneuron dysfunction implicated across cortical networks. Perisomatic inhibition by parvalbumin-containing (PV) and cholecystokinin-expressing (CCK) basket cells critically...

Sensory stimulation triggers different spike responses in serotonin and dopamine neurons in the dorsal midbrain tegmentum

Abstract The dorsal midbrain tegmentum, including the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), contains diverse neuronal populations. Within this region, serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) neurons are the principal monoaminergic cell types and...
