Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Yu et al. (2019) reveal the activity of excitatory cells and GABAergic inhibitory interneurons throughout the neocortical column during active sensation. The authors utilized a combination of spike waveform analysis and genetic tools to identify cell types, demonstrating their distinct patterns of recruitment during behavior.
