1/ #tweeprint time! If you are interested in #interneurons, #hippocampus and developmental mechanisms of neural circuit function, check out our new preprint “Hippocampal hub neurons maintain unique functional properties throughout their lifetime” biorxiv.org/content/10.110…2/ Ten years ago, the Cossart lab discovered that rare GABAergic neurons are able to orchestrate single-handedly network dynamics in the CA3 region of the hippocampus . As these cells showed a remarkably high functional connectivity, they were termed ‘hub cells’.
