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 UR - http://journal.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/1599/at-the-top-of-the-interneuronal-pyramid---calretinin-expressing-cortical-interneurons UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/41482 ER -
