| Research Abstract |
Understanding the brain's circuit architecture is critical to elucidating its function. Recently, the inhibitory components of cortical circuits have received increased attention. We have found no significant difference of the GABA positive synapse density among different subtype of cortical nonpyramidal cells, although excitatory synapse inputs are found to distribute in different density among cortical nonpyramidal cell subtypes. We also found that excitatory thalamo-cortical afferent fibers are rarely innervated cortical parvalbumin positive cell dendrites and intra-cortical afferent fibers are richly innervated them.
