Summary:
The author provides insights into the striking degree of cellular diversity found in the interneuronal microcircuits in the brain's neocortex and hippocampus. The book elaborates on different ideas about interneuronal diversity that rest upon theoretical and experimental results.
Contents:
Developmental origins of interneuronal heterogeneity
Order in diversity: from phenomenology to function
Cracks in the crystal: elusive neurospecies and the great correlation hunt
Functions of heterogeneity: meaning of means and variability of variances
Interneuronal variability: plasticity and regulation
Diversity beyond variance
Fifty ways to be a basket cell: self-tuning interneurons with multiple solutions for their tasks
Interneuronal diversity and small world neuronal networks
Closing thoughts: the structure of cortical microcircuit theory.
