Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

Researchers identify PV neurons in the prefrontal cortex as the gatekeepers of drug addiction relapse, offering a new target for precision treatment.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have uncovered findings with implications for understanding memory and learning, which could lead to restoring memory in Alzheimer's patients. Researchers have uncovered ...

Xiaojing Tang et al. at Chongqing Institute for Brain and Intelligence recently published a study in Science Bulletin titled “Parvalbumin Interneurons Are Essential for Tonotopy Strength in the ...

Inside mouse mothers’ hearing center, parvalbumin interneurons (PVin, magenta) are surrounded by perineuronal nets (PNNs, green). Upon hearing crying pups, mice with PVin lacking the MECP2 protein ...

Fear memory encoding, the process responsible for persistent reactions to trauma-associated cues, is influenced by a sparse but potent population of inhibitory cells called parvalbumin-interneurons ...

A research team led by Prof. HU Li at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) ...
