Abstract excerpt
Neurogliaform cells of area 4 of the human motor cortex were found to express choline acetyl transferase (ChAT), gamma-aminobutyric acid, and calbindin. GABA- and calbindin-positive NGCs were mainly localized in layers II and VI and were relatively rare in layer I of the cortex. ChAT-positive NGCs were observed in the upper and middle thirds of layer II, occurring occasionally in layer I and the upper portion of...
