To the editor:Issue 1 is an Ohio Constitutional Amendment to ban gerrymandering in the state. A “yes” vote will ban gerrymandering by creating a redistricting commission of 15 citizens (5 Republicans, 5 Democrats and 5 independents), none politicians. A “no” vote will reinforce existing gerrymandering (and the resulting supermajorities) by keeping the current Ohio Redistricting Commission in place.

AbstractInhibitory interneurons within cortical layer 1 (L1-INs) integrate inputs from diverse brain regions to modulate sensory processing and plasticity, but the sensory inputs that recruit these interneurons have not been identified. Here we used monosynaptic retrograde tracing and whole-cell electrophysiology to characterize the thalamic inputs onto two major subpopulations of L1-INs in the mouse auditory cortex.
