Differentiation of transmitter phenotypes in rat cerebral cortex.

The European journal of neuroscience - 1 Jan 1994

Götz M, Bolz J

Abstract excerpt

Cortical neurons differ in their neurochemical properties. Projection neurons use excitatory amino acids as transmitters, most local interneurons contain the inhibitory transmitter GABA, and specific subtypes of local circuit neurons express distinct neuropeptides. How this cellular diversity is...
