Responses to cortical input are comparatively stronger in parvalbumin-positive interneurons than in claustrocortical neurons.
Claustrocortical neurons and parvalbumin-positive interneurons form frequent synaptic connections.
Parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons are highly interconnected by both chemical and electrical synapses.
The reported claustral cellular organization is consistent with circuits sensitive to correlated inputs and with roles in sensory novelty detection or amplification of correlated cortical inputs.
Corticoclaustral afferents form monosynaptic connections onto both claustrocortical neurons and parvalbumin-positive interneurons.
