Types of neurons, synaptic connections and chemical characteristics of cells immunoreactive for calbindin-D28K, parvalbumin and calretinin in the neocortex

DeFelipe, Javier·1997·Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy

Abstract

This article provides a general account of types of neurons, synaptic connections and chemical characteristics (colocalization studies) of cells immunoreactive for the three main calcium-binding proteins found in the neocortex, namely, calbindin-D28K, parvalbumin and calretinin. The main conclusion is two-fold. First, all, or the majority, of calbindin-, parvalbumin- and calretinin-immunoreactive cells are smooth nonpyramidal neurons (interneurons) which participate in a variety of complex cortical circuits that may differ depending on the species, cortical area or layer where they are located. Second, in general, different types of nonpyramidal neurons are stained for each of these calcium-binding proteins and display different chemical characteristics regarding a variety of neurotransmitters (or related compounds), cell surface markers and receptors. However, a certain overlap exits, which also shows regional and species differences.

  • The density of specific interneuron types varies substantially across cortical areas.

    “However, the density of specific types of interneuron varies substantially across cortical areas (DeFelipe, 1997; He et al., 2016; Whissell et al., 2015).”

  • The cellular organization of interneuron diversity is remarkably similar between mouse and human, but there are important differences in morphology, gene expression, laminar distribution and proportions of certain interneuron types.

    “The cellular organization of interneuron diversity is remarkably similar between mouse and human, but there are important differences in the morphology, gene expression, laminar distribution and proportions of certain types of interneurons (Boldog et al., 2018; DeFelipe, 1997; Hodge et al., 2018).”

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.
