Presentation description

My project focuses on studying parvalbumin-expressing neurons, a major type of inhibitory interneuron, and their unique connections. Using advanced viral techniques, we aim to map and analyze long-range, brain-wide monosynaptic inputs to PV cells in the marmoset primary visual cortex. Since primates are closely related to humans, the findings from this study could help us better understand inhibition in the human brain and lead to new strategies for treating diseases linked to its dysfunction.
