Abstract

Cannabinoids are powerful modulators of inhibition, yet the precise spike timing of cannabinoid receptor (CB1R)-expressing inhibitory neurons in relation to other neurons in the circuit is poorly understood. Here we found that the spike timing of CB1R-expressing basket cells, a major target for cannabinoids in the rat hippocampus, was distinct from the other main group of basket cells, the CB1R-negative. Despite receiving the same afferent inputs, the synaptic and biophysical properties of the two cell types were tuned to detect different features of activity. CB1R-negative basket cells responded reliably and immediately to subtle and repetitive excitation. In contrast, CB1R-positive basket cells responded later and did not follow repetitive activity, but were better suited to integrate the consecutive excitation of independent afferents. This temporal separation in the activity of the two basket cell types generated distinct epochs of somatic inhibition that were differentially affected by endocannabinoids.

  • As a result of slow facilitation, these interneurons (presumably SST-containing O-LM cells, BiCs and CB1R-positive CCK-containing cells) are engaged in a later inhibitory epoch reflecting an integration mode that drives distal dendritic inhibitory inputs proportional to spike rates late in the series.

    “As a result of slow facilitation, these interneurons [presumably SST-containing O-LM cells, BiCs and CB1R-positive CCK-containing cells (404)] are engaged in a later inhibitory epoch reflecting an integration mode that drives distal dendritic inhibitory inputs proportional to spike rates late in the series.”

  • In most cortical networks, the dynamic between excitatory and inhibitory inputs is strongly modulated by short-term plasticity of the respective components, such that progressive changes in the excitation:inhibition ratio result in progressive degradation of the excitation and inhibition balance.

    “In most cortical networks, the dynamic between excitatory and inhibitory inputs is strongly modulated by the short-term plasticity properties of the respective components, such that progressive changes in the excitation:inhibition ratio results in a progressive degradation of the excitation and inhibition balance (372, 404).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
