The mammalian cortex is comprised of a multitude of cell types, wired together in intricate circuit motifs, which are recruited during different behavioral scenarios. Broadly speaking, neocortical neurons can either be defined as excitatory or inhibitory neurons, depending on the neurotransmitter they release when an action potential is conducted to the synaptic bouton. Glutamate-releasing excitatory neurons, and GABA (amino butyric acid)-releasing inhibitory neurons are present all through the cortex and form intricate connectivity motifs amongst each other to maintain the complex networ...
