Modulation of inhibitory communication coordinates looking and reaching.

ABSTRACT: Looking and reaching are controlled by different brain regions and are coordinated during natural behaviour¹. Understanding how flexible, natural behaviours such as coordinated looking and reaching are controlled depends on understanding how neurons in different regions of the brain communicate². Neural coherence in a gamma-frequency (40-90 Hz) band has been implicated in excitatory multiregional communication³. Inhibitory control mechanisms are also required to flexibly control behaviour⁴, but little is known about how neurons in one region transiently suppress individual neurons in another to support behaviour. How neuronal firing in a sender region transiently suppresses firing in a receiver region remains poorly understood. Here we study inhi
