GABA-mediated tonic inhibition differentially modulates gain in functional subtypes of cortical interneurons

Sean Lewis Hill, Christian Andreas Rössert, Bas-Jan Zandt

The binding of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) to extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors generates tonic inhibition that acts as a powerful modulator of cortical network activity. Despite GABA being present throughout the extracellular space of the brain, previous ...
