A sip of GABA for the cerebral cortex

Neuron. 2013 Jan 9;77(1):1-3. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2012.12.026.

Abstract

Cortical and striatal interneurons are both generated within the ventral telencephalon, but their migratory journey takes them to very different destinations. Two articles in this issue (van den Berge et al., 2013; McKinsey et al., 2013) add an important molecular component to our understanding of how, during development, interneurons reach the cerebral cortex.
