Distinct Functional Classes of CA1 Hippocampal Interneurons Are Modulated by Cerebellar Stimulation in a Coordinated Manner There is mounting evidence that the cerebellum impacts hippocampal functioning, but the impact of the cerebellum on hippocampal interneurons remains obscure. Using miniscopes in freely behaving male a...

My dissertation work with @kmlab.bsky.social is officially published in #Jneurosci !
www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...
TL;DR summary: The cerebellum can modulate several types of CA1 inhibitory interneurons, including object-responsive, run-active, & rest-active cells.

Google AI overview for the query β€œhow many rocks should I eat”

According to UC Berkeley geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. Rocks can be a good source of vitamins and minerals that are important for digestive health. You can eat pebbles, geodes, or gravel with breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or hide loose rocks in foods like peanut butter or ice cream.

This is the best one yet imo. πŸͺ¨πŸ΄

Distinct functional classes of CA1 hippocampal interneurons are modulated by cerebellar stimulation in a coordinated manner bioRxiv - the preprint server for biology, operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, a research and educational institution

We previously showed CA1 place cells' encoding of objects in space was altered by CB stim. We now show that CA1 interneurons' processing of objects in space is also altered by CB stim. More generally, we find that the cerebellum modulates CA1 interneurons in a very coordinated manner. so cool!

I don't know how you thought the cerebellum was engaged with hippocampal epileptiform activity, but I bet you did not see THIS coming.
