DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yoshiyuki Kubota\nSynapses and Circuits Seminar\n\nAbstr
 act: "The most typical and well known inhibitory action in the cortical mi
 crocircuit is a strong inhibition on the target neuron by axo-somatic syna
 pses. However\, it has become clear that synaptic inhibition in the corte
 x is much more diverse and complicated. Firstly\, at least ten or more inh
 ibitory non-pyramidal cell subtypes engage in diverse inhibitory function
 s to produce the elaborate activity characteristic of the different cortic
 al states. Each distinct non-pyramidal cell subtype has its own independen
 t inhibitory function. Secondly\, the inhibitory synapses innervate diffe
 rent neuronal domains\, such as axons\, spines\, dendrites and soma\, and 
 their IPSP size is not uniform. Thus\, cortical inhibition is highly comp
 lex\, with a wide variety of anatomical and physiological modes. Moreover\
 , the functional significance of the various inhibitory synapse innervati
 on styles and their unique structural dynamic behaviors differ from those 
 of excitatory synapses. We summarize our current understanding of the inh
 ibitory mechanisms of the cortical microcircuit.”
