-- Layer 2/3 neurons all have similar morphological and
functional characteristics, but they tend to form functionally distinct
microcircuits through specialized connections.
Although non-invasive methods to explore brain function in humans such as
functional imaging and EEG / MEG have been informative regarding the potential role of a given brain area in a particular cognitive function, they lack the necessary temporal and spatial resolution to study brain
microcircuits.
These studies reveal for the first time specific
functional connections between subsets of KCs and particular MBONs and establish the identity of synaptic
microcircuits underlying transmission of homeostatic sleep signals in the MB.
