Neocortical inhibitory interneuron subtypes are differentially attuned to synchrony- and rate-coded information

In order to address whether distinct subtypes of neurons are more sensitive to information carried by synchrony versus rate, Prince et al. used optical stimulation in slices of somatosensory cortex from mouse lines labelling fast-spiking (FS) and regular-spiking (RS) interneurons. They demonstrated...
