Investigating the fast-spiking interneuron microcircuit topology of mouse and human neocortex (B04)

Neuronal networks store and process information by the local structural and functional connectivity of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. In this project we plan to investigate how fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons are embedded in cortical subnetworks with structural and functional features tailored for specific region and species-dependent computational requirements.
