A study led by the IEECR has identified a mechanism relying on Ste20-like kinase that allows single cortical neurons to cell-autonomously adjust feedforward inhibition they receive to the cell-specific levels of excitatory input. The authors propose that this mechanism is critical

Paper in Brain out! Targeting aberrant dendritic integration to treat cognitive comorbidities of epilepsy.
Memory deficits are a debilitating symptom of epilepsy, but little is known about mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits. Here, we describe a Na+ channel-dependent mechanism underlying altered hippocampal dendritic integration, degraded place coding, and deficits in spatial memory. Two-photon glutamate uncaging experiments
