Download or read book At The Top of the Interneuronal Pyramid – Calretinin Expressing Cortical Interneurons written by Nada Zecevic and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is in general well appreciated that the cortical interneurons play various important roles in cortical neuronal networks both in normal and pathological states. Based on connectivity pattern, developmental, morphological and electrophysiological properties, distinct subgroups of GABAergic interneurons can be differentiated in the neocortex as well as in the hippocampal formation. In this E-Book, we are focusing our attention on inhibitory interneurons expressing calcium-binding protein calretinin (CR). The aim of the E-Book is to consolidate the knowledge about this interneuronal population and to inspire further research on the function and malfunction of these neurons, which – functionally – seem to stand "at the top of the pyramid" of cortical interneuronal types.
