Perisomatic inhibition from parvalbumin-containing (PV) interneurons is critical for timing, but the role of cholecystokinin-containing (CCK) interneurons remains obscure. Utilizing a novel mouse model, Dudok et al. demonstrate fundamentally distinct behavioral roles for these neuronal subpopulations during behavior.

Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) GABAergic interneurons in the dentate gyrus provide powerful perisomatic inhibition of dentate granule cells (DGCs) to prevent overexcitation and maintain the stability of dentate gyrus circuits. Most dentate PV+ interneurons survive status epilepticus, but surviving PV+ interneuron mediated inhibition is compromised in the dentate gyrus shortly after status epilepticus, contributing to epileptogenesis in temporal lobe epilepsy. It is uncertain whether the impaired activity of dentate PV+ interneurons recovers at later times or if it continues for months following status epilepticus.

Over the past three decades, a great deal of attention has been paid to the study of perisomatic inhibition and perisomatic inhibitory basket cells. A growing body of experimental evidence points to the leading role of perisomatic inhibitory cells in the generation of oscillatory activity in various frequency ranges. Recently the link between the activity of basket cells and complex behavior has been demonstrated in several laboratories.

Infection during pregnancy represents a risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders associated with neurodevelopmental alterations. A growing body of evidence from rodents and non-human primates shows that maternal inflammation induced by viral or bacterial infections results in several neurobiological alterations in the offspring. These changes may play an important role in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, whose clinical features include impairments in cognitive processing and social performance.

Peripheral viral infections are well known to profoundly alter brain function; however detailed mechanisms of this immune-to-brain communication have not been deciphered. This review focuses on studies of cerebral effects of peripheral viral challenge employing intraperitoneal injection of a viral mimetic, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (PIC). In this paradigm, PIC challenge induces the acute phase response (APR) characterized by a transient surge of circulating inflammatory factors, primarily IFNβ, IL-6 and CXCL10.

Inhibitory circuits in the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB) dynamically reformat olfactory information as it propagates from peripheral receptors to downstream cortex. To gain mechanistic insight into how specific OB interneuron types support this sensory processing, we examine unitary synaptic interactions between excitatory mitral and tufted cells (MTCs), the OB projection neurons, and a conserved population of anaxonic external plexiform layer interneurons (EPL-INs) using pair and quartet whole-cell recordings in acute mouse brain slices. Physiological, morphological, neurochemical, and synaptic analyses divide EPL-INs into distinct subtypes and reveal that parvalbumin-expressing fast-spiking EPL-INs (FSIs) perisomatically innervate MTCs with release-competent dendrites and synaptically detonate to mediate fast, short-latency recurrent and lateral inhibition.
