SST vs PV Interneuron Frequency Band Specificity

The emerging evidence for a division of labor between SST and PV interneurons in oscillatory frequency bands, where SST neurons preferentially modulate theta and PV neurons preferentially modulate gamma. This comparison reveals how robust this dichotomy is across studies and conditions, and where it breaks down (e.g., SST bistratified cells coupling to gamma).
