Abstract in brief

The study investigates how spontaneous neuronal activity in the mouse motor cortex, characterized by groups of neurons called ensembles, is affected by blocking GABAergic (inhibitory) signals, revealing that inhibition is crucial for maintaining complex firing patterns.
When GABA transmission is blocked, these ensembles become synchronized into a single, recurrent group resembling epileptiform discharges, indicating that GABA inhibition normally prevents such overly synchronized activity.
The findings suggest that external stimuli or fast GABA transmission are necessary to trigger more severe ictal-like events, making this model useful for understanding how cortical activity transitions into epileptic states.]
