Abstract excerpt
Neurons of the mammalian cerebral cortex are commonly subdivided into two broad classes: pyramidal and nonpyramidal. The former are projection neurons, while the latter are interneurons. To determine whether the two neuronal classes in the cerebral cortex are derived from the same or separate progenitor cells, we used a recombinant retrovirus containing the reporter gene E-coli beta-galactosidase as a lineage...
