Selective reduction of AMPA currents onto hippocampal interneurons impairs network oscillatory activity.

Reduction of excitatory currents onto GABAergic interneurons in the forebrain results in impaired spatial working memory and altered oscillatory network patterns in the hippocampus. Whether this phenotype is caused by an alteration in hippocampal interneurons is not known because most studies employ...
