Chandelier Cells Illuminate Inhibitory Control of Prefrontal–Amygdala Outputs

Thomas F. Giustino, Stephen Maren

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Inhibitory interneurons comprise a diverse subpopulation of cells that are critical to circuit function. How distinct inhibitory microcircuits control long-range projections remains poorly understood. A recent study by Lu and colleagues uncovered a unidirectional microcircuit of prefrontal chandelier cells that preferentially innervate and suppress long-range amygdala-projecting pyramidal cells.
