Inhibitory circuit motifs in Drosophila larvae generate motor program diversity and variability

How do neural networks generate diverse and variable outputs? This experimental and computational study in the larval fruitfly locomotor system shows that relatively simple sets of inhibitory circuit motifs can generate a surprising degree of diversity and variability in motor programs.

If you liked our lab’s SFN poster from @saman, here’s the #preprint, just up! Laminar CA1 recordings in freely moving🐒 🛜 and that buys us some interesting fields in task and overnight #sleep, #inhibitory cell responses, and best of all: superficial/ deep #CA1 #pyramidalneuron #cellassemblies !! @cogneurophys

@DrYohanJohn this is a great reference work I use in class! Does anyone out there have something more recent? That is, are there important revisions to this story that I should be teaching?

Also, should we not just cave and call them #inhibitory cells rather than #interneurons, given the importance of #gaba ergic projection neurons? (Not trolling the developmental people who see gaba excitation).
