Abstract

The neocortex contains excitatory neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Clones of neocortical excitatory neurons originating from the same progenitor cell are spatially organized and contribute to the formation of functional microcircuits. In contrast, relatively little is known about the production and organization of neocortical inhibitory interneurons. We found that neocortical inhibitory interneurons were produced as spatially organized clonal units in the developing ventral telencephalon. Furthermore, clonally related interneurons did not randomly disperse but formed spatially isolated clusters in the neocortex. Individual clonal clusters consisting of interneurons expressing the same or distinct neurochemical markers exhibited clear vertical or horizontal organization. These results suggest that the lineage relationship plays a pivotal role in the organization of inhibitory interneurons in the neocortex.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Individual progenitor cells in the MGE generate both SST+ and PV+ interneurons.

    “clonal studies have shown that individual progenitor cells in the MGE generate both SST+ and PV+ interneurons”

    From Development and Functional Diversification of Cortical Interneurons (2018) · cites this paper as Brown et al., 2011

  • Earlier work concluded that clonally related interneurons tend to cluster in the mouse neocortex.

    “These studies seem to contradict earlier work, which concluded that clonally-related interneurons have a strong tendency to cluster in the mouse neocortex (Brown et al., 2011; Ciceri 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.
