interneuronista
Interneuronista is a neologism used to describe a researcher or practitioner who specializes in interneurons—local circuit neurons that frequently provide inhibition in neural networks. Interneurons, including GABAergic subtypes, regulate the timing and synchronization of activity in brain regions such as the cortex, hippocampus, and striatum. The term is not an established professional title in most neuroscience communities, but it is encountered in some science writing and fictional works to emphasize focus on interneuron biology.
Scope of work: An interneuronista would typically engage in experimental approaches such as electrophysiology, optogenetics, calcium
Education and training: Individuals described as interneuronistas usually hold advanced degrees in neuroscience, biology, or related
Notes on usage: Because it is not a formally recognized title, the term should be used cautiously
