Specific synaptic input strengths determine the computational properties of excitation-inhibition integration in a sound localization circuit

Ralf Schneggenburger, Friedemann Zenke, Enida Gjoni, Brice Antoine Alexandre Bouhours

The lateral superior olive (LSO) is a binaural nucleus in the auditory brainstem in which excitation from the ipsilateral ear is integrated with inhibition from the contralateral ear. It is unknown whether the strength of the unitary inhibitory and excitat ...

Ultrastructural basis of strong unitary inhibition in a binaural neuron

Graham Knott, Ralf Schneggenburger, Enida Gjoni, Clémentine Léa Aguet

Binaural neurons in the lateral superior olive (LSO) integrate sound information arriving from each ear, and powerful glycinergic inhibition of these neurons plays an important role in this process. In the present study, we investigated the ultrastructural ...

Functional and structural properties of strong inhibitory synapses in a binaural auditory circuit

Enida Gjoni

Neuronal circuits are defined in their function and computational outcome by the synaptic interplay of Excitation and Inhibition (E/I). One step further in understanding the role of these opposite interactors in neuronal computations consists in determinin ...

Synaptotagmin2 (Syt2) Drives Fast Release Redundantly with Syt1 at the Output Synapses of Parvalbumin-Expressing Inhibitory Neurons

Ralf Schneggenburger, Olexiy Kochubey, Enida Gjoni, Brice Antoine Alexandre Bouhours

Parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons in the mammalian CNS are specialized for fast transmitter release at their output synapses. However, the Ca2+ sensor(s) used by identified inhibitory synapses, including the output synapses of parvalbumin-expressin ...

BMP signaling specifies the development of a large and fast CNS synapse

Graham Knott, Ralf Schneggenburger, Enida Gjoni, Le Xiao, Elin Kristina Kronander

excitatory synapses with multiple active zones ensure reliable and fast information transfer at specific points in neuronal circuits. However, the mechanisms that determine synapse size in CNS circuits are largely unknown. Here we use the calyx of Held syn ...
