At the 8th FENS forum of neuroscience held in Barcelona, aside from The Brain Prize 2011 lecture given by Peter Somogyi, the laboratory presented three posters which were all well attended.
Linda Katona, a DPhil student, and Dr. Damien Lapray, presented their work on the activity of different identified interneuron types in the hippocampal CA1 area of freely behaving rats. Their respective posters were entitled “Behaviourally-defined activity dynamics of GABAergic O-LM interneurons in the rat hippocampus” and “Behavioural state-dependent contribution of identified CA1 stratum pyramidale GABAergic interneurons and pyramidal cells to network activity”.
The third poster, by Dr. Tim Viney, presented data on the “Inhibition of identified hippocampal CA3 axo-axonic interneurons during network oscillations in vivo” using an anaesthetised preparation.
