Cortical interneurons display striking differences in shape, physiology, and other attributes,
challenging us to appropriately classify them. We previously suggested that interneuron …

Characterizing the diverse cell types that make up the nervous system is essential for
understanding how the nervous system is structured and ultimately how it functions. The …

The precise connectivity of somatostatin and parvalbumin cortical interneurons is generated
during development. An understanding of how these interneuron classes incorporate into …

We demonstrate that cortical interneurons derived from ventral eminences, including the
caudal ganglionic eminence, undergo programmed cell death. Moreover, with the exception …

Thyroid hormones (TH; T3 and T4) play a fundamental role in the fetal stage to the adult
phase, controlling gene and protein expression in virtually all tissues. The endocrine and …

Information processing within neuronal circuits relies on their proper development and a
balanced interplay between principal and local inhibitory interneurons within those circuits …

During embryogenesis, cortical interneurons are generated by ventral progenitors located in
the ganglionic eminences of the telencephalon. They travel along multiple tangential paths …

The proper development and function of neuronal circuits rely on a tightly regulated balance
between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) synaptic transmission, and disrupting this balance can …

The assembly of the mammalian brain is orchestrated by temporally coordinated waves of
gene expression. Post-transcriptional regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs) is a key aspect of …

ABSTRACT Rho GTPases, among them Rac1 and Rac3, are major transducers of
extracellular signals and are involved in multiple cellular processes. In cortical interneurons …
