Role of somatostatin-positive cortical interneurons in the generation of sleep slow waves

2017-04-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Cortical slow waves – the hallmark of NREM sleep - reflect near-synchronous OFF periods in cortical neurons. However, the mechanisms triggering such OFF periods are unclear, as there is little evidence for somatic inhibition. We studied cortical inhibitory interneurons that express somatostatin (SOM), because ∼70% of them are Martinotti cells that target diffusely layer 1 and can block excitatory...
