Neurobiology: Background inhibition to the fore
Ivan Soltesz1 & Zoltan Nusser
Abstract
Investigations of a neurotransmitter receptor required for 'background' neuronal inhibition in mice show the importance of such inhibition in keeping neuronal excitability under control.
Why would you put microphones outside a concert hall to record the music inside? All they would pick up is muffled noise, although the sound would vary according to the music's highs and lows.
