Human pluripotent stem cells are a powerful tool for modeling brain development and disease. The human cortex is composed of two major neuronal populations: projection neurons and local interneurons. Cortical interneurons comprise a diverse class of cell types expressing the neurotransmitter GABA. Dysfunction of cortical interneurons has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases, including schizophrenia,...
The forebrain is one of most complex cellular structures known. Two phenomena that enable this complexity are tangential migrations that mix neurons from distinct progenitor fields, and axon guidance across intervening, noninnervated fields. A new paper in Cell by López-Bendito et al. has discovered the convergence of these phenonema in the critical thalamacortical system.
