Procognitive restoration of PV neuron plasticity in neurodevelopmental disorders - Nature

Reports a targeted screen identifying genes that enable adult PV interneuron plasticity and tests whether restoring one gene rescues circuitry, seizures and cognition.

Key Takeaways
  • Feedforward inhibition of CA3/CA2 PNs mediated by PV INs dictates their spiking
  • Here, these properties are collectively referred to as experience-dependent PV IN plasticity
  • This process subsequently leads to increased feedforward inhibition in DG–CA3/CA2 circuits 9
