title: Keeping inhibition timely.
abstract: GABAergic interneurons play a key role in orchestrating cortical network oscillations. In this issue of Neuron, two studies (Bacci and Huguenard and Vida et al.) identify how networks of fast-spiking interneurons can enhance the regularity, precision, and robustness of their own rhythmicity via individual and collective self-innervation.
