We investigated the role of somatostatin-expressing (SST) interneurons in inhibition stabilization within mouse primary visual cortex. By selectively blocking glutamatergic inputs to SST cells, we obs
Physiology: In vitro recordings of neurons in layers 2/3 of higher visual areas in slices of mouse cortex. Single neurons or pairs of neurons are a mix of pyramidal cells and interneurons (parvalbumin
Synapse-specific connectivity and dynamics determine microcircuit function but are challenging to explore with classic paired recordings due to their low throughput. We therefore implemented optomapp
