Parvalbumin- and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-expressing neocortical interneurons impose differential inhibition on Martinotti cells

Abstract

Martinotti cells disinhibit excitatory cells in the brain cortex and play an important role in information flow. Here the authors study the role of parvalbumin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide interneurons on the inhibition of Martinotti cells in the mouse somatosensory cortex.
