As Leader of the BRaIN Program, I was proud to highlight one of our new initiatives exploring how digital tools can support brain health — including gamified training apps for amblyopia (“lazy eye”). 👁️🎮

That’s too bad! Although to be fair, I wasn’t aware that your paper showed PV dendrite sublinearity either — the word sublinear doesn’t show up until the Discussion, which makes it hard to search for.

Congrats to everybody, especially the first authors Annunziato Morabito and Yann Zerlaut!

Briefly, Rebola et al find that distinct interneuron classes integrate information differently in their dendritic branches, and that this determines interneuron computational logic and, as a consequence, spiking dynamics. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Distinct dendritic integration strategies control dynamics of inhibition in the neocortex
Dendrites critically influence single-neuron computations, but their role in neocortical GABAergic interneurons (INs) remains poorly understood. We fo…

The first author, Linn Dragsted, who was a very hard-working undergraduate student in the lab, carried out this study with the talented PhD student Shawniya Alageswaran.

We conclude that, to guarantee synapse specificity, one therefore has to rely on paired recordings or 2-photon optogenetics.
