Circadian Plasticity of Mammalian Inhibitory Interneurons by Malgorzata Jasinska, Elzbieta Pyza

“…Here we review the circadian plasticity of GABAergic interneurons in several areas of the mammalian brain, suprachiasmatic nucleus, neocortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, cerebellum, striatum, and in the retina.…”

Delta opioid receptors engage multiple signaling cascades to differentially modulate prefrontal GABA release with input and target specificity by Ryan P.D. Alexander, Kevin J. Bender

“…Of the opioid receptor types, delta opioid receptors (DORs) appear to have a unique role in regulating the activity of circuits related to reward without liability for abuse. In neocortex, DORs are expressed primarily in interneurons, including parvalbumin- and somatostatin-expressing interneurons that inhibit somatic and dendritic compartments of excitatory pyramidal cells, respectively. …”

FOXP2-immunoreactive corticothalamic neurons in neocortical layers 6a and 6b are tightly regulated by neuromodulatory systems by Guanxiao Qi, Danqing Yang, Fernando Messore, Arco Bast, Felipe Yáñez, Marcel Oberlaender, Dirk Feldmeyer

“…It is expressed specifically in a subset of corticothalamic (CT) pyramidal cells (PCs) in layer 6 (L6) of the neocortex. These L6 FOXP2+ PCs project exclusively to the thalamus, with L6a PCs targeting first-order or both first- and higher-order thalamic nuclei, whereas L6b PCs connect only to higher-order nuclei. …”
