The 2025 GRC inhibition in the CNS will focus on the role of inhibition in shaping neural circuits underlying normal and pathological behavior. The meeting will span topics from interneuron subtype identity, inhibitory synapse organization, circuits for sensory processing and memory as well as computational approaches to unravel network dynamics. Cutting-edge research in inhibitory function in cortical and subcortical structures will be covered in the conference. In addition, the meeting will address the role of inhibition in the adult neurogenic niche and will include research with a variety of model organisms, such as mouse and primate. Finally, the program will address inhibitory dysfunction in the context of neuropsychiatric disorders.
