GABA through the Ages: Regulation of Cortical Function and Plasticity by Inhibitory Interneurons

Inhibitory interneurons comprise only about 20% of cortical neurons and thus constitute a clear minority compared to the vast number of excitatory projection neurons. They are, however, an influential minority with important roles in cortical maturation, function, and plasticity. In this paper, we w...
