Recent research from Dr. Theofanis Karayannis and colleagues investigated how local inhibitory circuits shape sensory processing in the mouse barrel cortex. Their findings suggest that inhibitory dynamics regulate the balance between temporal integration and spatial segregation of sensory signals, distinguishing processing within barrels versus septa.
To capture these dynamics, the team recorded neural activity using NeuroNexus A8x8-100-200-177 multi-shank silicon probes, enabling simultaneous population recordings across cortical microcircuits.
