-
The pair discovered that short, locally acting neurons called fast-spiking interneurons generate gamma waves, and that they enhance the information flow in long, distantly acting neurons.

-
In both experiments, selectively stimulating the fast-spiking interneurons evoked gamma oscillations, thereby confirming the hypothesis that these neurons drive the gamma rhythm.

-
The interneurons then transform the electrical signals into a language that can be utilized as memory in other parts of the brain.
-
The experimenters utilized optogenetics, developing custom-designed viruses to infect only the fast-spiking interneurons of either the prefrontal or barrel cortex in mice with genetically engineered, light-sensitive cation channels.

Then, they inserted fine optical fibers into the relevant region of the cortex, allowing light to be delivered to the infected neurons and thereby activating only the fast-spiking interneurons.
