Investigating the fast-spiking interneuron microcircuit topology of mouse and human neocortex (B04)

• Subject Area: Cognitive, Systems and Behavioural Neurobiology
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 514483642

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.
