| GABA inactivation of large-basket cells of visual cortex resulted in weakened orientation and direction selectivity, via weakening of long-range lateral inhibition by the basket cells (Kisvarday ZF, Crook J and Buzas P and Eysel UT, 2000442 ). Most layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons and interneurons received inhibitory input (presumably GABAergic) from neighboring interneurons in layer 2/3 (Dantzker JL and Callaway EM, 2000443 ) GABAergic interneurons (basket cells, dendrite-targeting cells, and double-bouquet cells) form reciprocally interconnected intracortical networks in which basket cells play a prominent role, given the strength of innervation and the proximal placement of synapses by basket cells to their postsynaptic targets (Tamas and Somogyi P and Buhl EH, 1998444 ). Analysis of synaptic input to layer 4 basket cells show that 79% of symmetric synapses could have originated from other layer 4 basket cells. Soma and proximal dendrites received 76% of all the symmetric synapses (Ahmed B, Anderson J and Martin KA and Nelson JC, 1997447 ).; Autaptic self-innervation of basket cells (Tamas and Buhl EH and Somogyi P, 1997446 ). |
