Abstract
Brain Circuits In addition to providing well-characterized excitatory inputs, the entorhinal cortex also sends long-range inhibitory projections to the hippocampus. Basu et al. described this input in detail and characterized its role for learning and memory. Multimodal sensory stimuli activate long-range inhibitory input in vivo. This input enables precisely timed information transfer within the cortico-hippocampal circuit. In this way, long-range inhibitory projections play an important role in providing specificity of fear conditioning, and thus help prevent overgeneralization. Science , this issue p.
