"Interneurons' Role in Guiding Brain Development"
Researchers have identified the crucial role of specific interneurons, SST+ and PV+, in orchestrating the transition from synchronous to asynchronous neuronal activity during early brain development. These interneurons influence the maturation of each other, highlighting a hierarchical interaction crucial for timely brain development. The findings have implications for understanding neurodevelopmental disorders linked to these interneurons, offering new avenues for research into their roles in conditions like autism and schizophrenia.
