Abstract

Depending on the arousal state, neuronal networks display discrete activity patterns that profoundly affect information processing in the brain. In this issue of Neuron, Kurotani et al. report bidirectional modification of inhibition by oscillatory patterns in the neocortex; a mechanism likely to control the impact of these neurons in a state-dependent fashion.
