Observations reveal that locomotion affects inhibition in pyramidal cells and interneurons, indicating its role in energy modulation.

To understand how behavior influences excitatory and inhibitory signaling in CA1 neurons of the hippocampus.
Combined voltage imaging with optogenetics
Imaged pyramidal cells and various interneurons
Evaluated firing rates during different behavioral states
Locomotion reduced firing in pyramidal cells and certain interneurons
Inhibition plays a significant role in theta oscillations for specific cell types
Gain reduction was observed in PC bursting during active states

Yang et al. (2026) studied this question.
