7/10 For PV interneurons, Vgf is the critical gene modulating the plasticity of inhibitory inputs received from other PV interneurons

4/10 Using experimental manipulations, we found that PV interneurons scale the inhibition they receive to maintain stability. When the activity of a PV interneuron increases, it “requests” more inhibitory inputs from other PV interneurons, effectively rebalancing its activity

3/10 Neuronal activity operates within a tightly controlled range for the optimal functioning of #brain circuits. When synaptic connectivity and network activity are modified, such as when we are learning, compensatory mechanisms are needed to maintain stability

5/10 How is this achieved? We found that PV interneurons induce the expression of two genes encoding multiple neuropeptides, Scg2 and Vgf, in response to increased activity

9/10 In sum, our findings identify a previously unknown form of interneuron plasticity and strengthen the idea that neuropeptide signalling plays crucial roles in maintaining neural circuit stability. Funded by the magnificents @ERC_Research and @RosetreesT

1/10 Our latest research, led by @MartijnSelten, identifies a mechanism through which Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate their activity in the #cortex. This is the story @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 🧵⬇︎ @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @ERC_Research @RosetreesT
