A new study reveals how interneurons, brain cells that regulate the firing of other neurons, act as traffic controllers in the hippocampus, a region critical for learning and memory.

(a) In the 'classical' pathway, multiple pyramidal cells (for simplicity, only one pyramidal cell is shown: P 1) excite the inhibitory interneuron (I) at its soma. The interneuron then inhibits P ...
