GABAergic activity is thought to influence developing neocortical sensory circuits. Yet the late postnatal maturation of local layer (L)4 circuits suggests alternate sources of GABAergic control in nascent thalamocortical networks. We show that a population of L5b, somatostatin (SST)-positive interneuron receives early thalamic synaptic input and, using laser-scanning photostimulation, identify an early transient circuit between these cells and L4 spiny stellates (SSNs) that disappears by the end of the L4 critical period. Sensory perturbation disrupts the transition to a local GABAergic circuit, suggesting a link between translaminar and local control of SSNs. Conditional silencing of SST+ interneurons or conversely biasing the circuit toward local inhibition by overexpression of neuregulin-1 type 1 results in an absence of early L5b GABAergic input in mutants and delayed thalamic innervation of SSNs. These data identify a role for L5b SST+ interneurons in the control of SSNs in the early postnatal neocortex. Early postnatal thalamic synaptic input onto L5b somatostatin interneurons Transient reciprocal connectivity between L5b INs and L4 spiny stellate cells Sensory activity is required for the transition to a local L4 GABAergic circuit Molecular bias toward early local IN synapses delays thalamic innervation of SSNs Marques-Smith et al. identify a transient, early postnatal GABAergic interneuron circuit involved in thalamocortical integration in primary somatosensory cortex. Perturbation of sensory and molecular cues alters the temporal dynamics of this circuit and thereby maturation of thalamocortical afferent input.
