Local cortical inhibitory subnetworks are shaped by pyramidal neuron progenitor type

|
By Gemma Gothard, Kashif Mahfooz, Sarah Newey Verified, Sasha Tinelli
| BioRxiv
Abstract The degree to which cortical neurons share inhibitory synaptic input determines their co-activity within a network. However, the principles by which inhibition is shared between neurons are not known. Here we combine in utero labeling with in vivo two-photon targeted patch-clamp recordings in mature cortex to reveal that a layer 2/3 (L2/3) pyramidal neuron's local inhibitory input reflects the embryonic progenitor type from which the neuron is born.

Higher-order thalamocortical circuits are specified by embryonic cortical progenitor types in the mouse brain

|
By Matthew Buchan, Mansfield Road, Gemma Gothard, Kashif Mahfooz
| Cell Reports Verified
Highlights • Progenitor type determines an excitatory cortical neuron’s input from thalamus • L4 neurons derived from intermediate progenitors receive more higher-order thalamic input • This reflects progenitor-specified effects upon fine-scale dendritic development • Progenitor-specified circuits dictate higher-order sensory responses and plasticity Summary The sensory cortex receives synaptic inputs from both first-order and higher-order thalamic nuclei.
