Inhibitory interneurons comprise a diverse subpopulation of cells that are critical to circuit function. How distinct inhibitory microcircuits control long-range projections remains poorly understood. A recent study by Lu and colleagues uncovered a unidirectional microcircuit of prefrontal chandelier cells that preferentially innervate and suppress long-range amygdala-projecting pyramidal cells.

枝形吊灯细胞照亮前额叶 - 杏仁核输出的抑制控制

抑制性中间神经元包括对电路功能至关重要的多种细胞亚群。人们对不同的抑制微电路如何控制远程投射仍然知之甚少。Lu 及其同事最近的一项研究发现了前额叶枝形吊灯细胞的单向微电路，它优先支配和抑制长距离投射杏仁核的锥体细胞。
