Cortical function is characterized by the dynamic interplay of two major forces: excitation and inhibition. A current belief is that dysfunction of inhibition. mediated by local GABAergic interneurons. leads to a wide range of neurological diseases such as epilepsy. autism. schizophrenia. PTSD. A well-established principle of the cortical circuit organization is that inhibition is local while excitation is both local and long-range; however. this ignores that inhibition may be long-range as well.
