By combining an inducible genetic fate mapping strategy with electrophysiological analysis,
we have systematically characterized the populations of cortical GABAergic interneurons …

Ventral telencephalic progenitors expressing the homeodomain transcription factor Nkx6-2
have been shown to give rise to a multitude of cortical interneuron subtypes usually …

Electrical activity has been shown to regulate development in a variety of species and in
various structures 1 , including the retina 2 , 3 , 4 , spinal cord 5 , 6 and cortex 5 . Within the …

Neurogliaform (RELN+) and bipolar (VIP+) GABAergic interneurons of the mammalian cerebral
cortex provide critical inhibition locally within the superficial layers. While these subtypes …

Neuronal microcircuits in the superficial layers of the mammalian cortex provide the
substrate for associative cortical computation. Inhibitory interneurons constitute an essential …

Light-sheet microscopy is an ideal technique for imaging large cleared samples; however,
the community is still lacking instruments capable of producing volumetric images of …

It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order to fully
understand neurodevelopment in both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To …

The COUP-TFII nuclear receptor, also known as NR2F2, is expressed in the developing
ventral telencephalon and modulates the tangential migration of a set of subpallial neuronal …

The kinetics of GABAergic synaptic currents can vary by an order of magnitude depending
on the cell type. The neurogliaform cell (NGFC) has recently been identified as a key …

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