What do we gain from gamma? Local dynamic gain modulation drives enhanced efficacy and efficiency of signal transmission

Gamma oscillations in neocortex are hypothesized to improve information transmission between groups of neurons. We recently showed that optogenetic drive of fast-spiking interneurons (FS) at 40 Hz in mouse neocortex in vivo modulates the spike count and precision of sensory evoked responses. At spec...
