GABA facilitates spike propagation through branch points of sensory axons in the spinal cord

2021-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Movement and posture depend on sensory feedback that is regulated by specialized GABAergic neurons (GAD2 + ) that form axo-axonic contacts onto myelinated proprioceptive sensory axons and are thought to be inhibitory. However, we report here that activating GAD2 + neurons, directly with optogenetics or indirectly by cutaneous stimulation, facilitates sensory feedback to motoneurons in awake rodents and humans. G...
