Optogenetics-assisted characterization of parvalbumin-expressing interneurons in the dentate gyrus in freely behaving mice

In the mammalian brain, neural circuits generate all cognitive functions. Two main neuronal classes compose these circuits: Excitatory principal cells and interneurons, which balance the activity of principal neurons via inhibitory effects and control network activity in the brain. In the hippocampu...
