In the neocortex, neural activity is shaped by the interaction of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, defined by the organization of their synaptic connections. Although connections among excitatory pyramidal neurons are sparse and functionally tuned, inhibitory connectivity is thought to be dense and largely unstructured. By measuring in vivo visual responses and synaptic connectivity of parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) inhibitory cells in mouse primary visual cortex, we show that the synaptic ...
