Conduction Velocity Along the Local Axons of Parvalbumin Interneurons Correlates With the Degree of Axonal Myelination

Abstract: Parvalbumin-containing (PV+) basket cells in mammalian neocortex are fast-spiking interneurons that regulate the activity of local neuronal circuits in multiple ways. Even though PV+ basket cells are locally projecting interneurons, their axons are myelinated. Can this myelination contribute in any significant way to the speed of action potential propagation along such short axons? We used dual whole cell recordings of synaptically connected PV+ interneurons and their postsynaptic target in acutely prepared ne… Show more

“…Is myelin required for PV + BC-mediated inhibition? Single PV + BCs typically make 5–15 synapses with a PN in a range of <200 µm, forming highly reliable, fast, and synchronized release sites ( Micheva et al, 2021 ; Packer and Yuste, 2011 ; Tamás et al, 1997 ; Thomson et al, 1996 ). Intercellular variations in both myelin distribution and aberrant myelin patterns have been associated with conduction velocity changes ( Benamer et al, 2020 ; Micheva et al, 2021 ).…”

Intercellular variations in both myelin distribution and aberrant myelin patterns have been associated with conduction velocity changes ( Benamer et al, 2020 ; Micheva et al, 2021 ). To examine the role of myelin on inhibitory transmission, we made paired recordings of PV + BCs and L5 PNs with and without myelination, in control or cuprizone-treated PV-Cre; Ai14 mice, respectively ( Figure 3 ).…”
