Interneuron-specific signaling evokes distinctive somatostatin-mediated responses in adult cortical astrocytes

Interneurons in the neocortex have functional and morphological subtypes. Here, Mariotti and colleagues show that activation of parvalbumin-expressing interneurons evokes depressing calcium responses in astrocytes while somatostatin-expressing interneurons evoke potentiating astrocytic responses.
