Shaping inhibition: activity dependent structural plasticity of GABAergic synapses

Inhibitory transmission through the neurotransmitter Ɣ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shapes network activity in the mammalian cerebral cortex by filtering synaptic incoming information and dictating the activity of principal cells. The incredibly diverse population of cortical neurons that use GABA as ne...
