Project Collaborations
Investigating the fast-spiking interneuron microcircuit topology of mouse and human neocortex

Project:

B04

| PI:

Jörg Geiger

Neuronal networks store and process information by the local structural and functional connectivity of excitatory and inhibitory neurons.  In this project we plan to investigate how fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons are embedded in cortical subnetworks with structural and functional features tailored for specific region and species-dependent computational requirements.
