Integration of GABAergic interneurons into cortical cell assemblies: lessons from embryos and adults

Open access
Bartolini, Giorgia, Ciceri, Gabriele, Marín, Oscar·2013·Neuron

Abstract

In the forebrain, cortical structures consist of networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons born in distant locations. Understanding how these two major classes of neurons integrate into unique functional cell assemblies may shed light on the organization of cortical circuits. In this review, we provide an overview of the mechanisms used by GABAergic interneurons to reach their final position, with an emphasis on the final steps of this process. To this end, we analyze similarities and differences between the integration of GABAergic interneurons in the developing cerebral cortex and in the postnatal brain, using the neocortex and the olfactory bulb as model systems.

  • Interneurons undergo a protracted period of migration before reaching their final position in the cortex, and only then do different cortical interneuron types become distinguishable.

    From Development and Functional Diversification of Cortical Interneurons (2018) · cites this paper as Bartolini et al., 2013

  • Activity-dependent mechanisms influence development, maturation and plasticity of cortical interneurons, but most aspects directly linked to functional diversity seem intrinsically determined.

    “Activity-dependent mechanisms undoubtedly influence development, maturation and plasticity of cortical interneurons (24–26), but most aspects that are directly linked to the functional diversity of cortical interneurons seem to be intrinsically determined (14, 27).”
  • Intracellular maturation programs, in addition to the local cortical environment, may regulate GABAergic circuit development.

    “Intracellular maturational programs in addition to the local cortical milieu may regulate the development of GABAergic circuits (Bartolini et al., 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
