Seong-Seng Tan
Abstract
Inhibitory cells known as interneurons constitute a significant proportion of the neurons in the neocortex of mammalian brains. As far as interneuron origins are concerned, humans may be the odd man out.
For more than a decade, the interneurons found in the neocortex of the human brain have been disturbing the peace of developmental neurobiologists. Interneurons represent roughly 20% of cortical neurons and are responsible for modulating the firing of the principal neurons known as projection neurons.
