TLDR
The present article provides an overview of calcium-binding protein distribution across a large number of representative mammalian species and a review of their developmental patterns in the species where data are available, demonstrating that while it is likely that the developmental patterns are quite consistent across species, the distribution and morphology varies substantially among mammalian orders and that certain species show highly divergent patterns compared to closely related taxa.About:

GABAergic Interneurons in the Neocortex: From Cellular Properties to Circuits
TL;DR: Current understanding of neocortical interneuron diversity and the properties that distinguish cell types are reviewed and it is illustrated how recent advances in the field have shed light onto the mechanisms by which GABAergic inhibition contributes to network operations.

Principles of connectivity among morphologically defined cell types in adult neocortex
Xiaolong Jiang,Shan Shen,Cathryn R. Cadwell,Philipp Berens,Fabian H. Sinz,Alexander S. Ecker,Saumil S. Patel,Andreas S. Tolias +7 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive profiling of neuronal cell types and connections in adult neocortex provides the most complete wiring diagram of neocortical microcircuits to date and should aid efforts to identify specific circuit abnormalities in animal models of brain disease and may eventually provide a path toward the development of comprehensive circuit-based, cell type–specific interventions.

TL;DR: A possible taxonomical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based interactive system that allows experts to classify neurons with pre-determined criteria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium and neurodegeneration
TL;DR: A better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that promote or prevent disturbances in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis during aging may lead to novel approaches for therapeutic intervention in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and stroke.

Microstructure of the neocortex: Comparative aspects
TL;DR: Differences in cortical areas of the human, rat and mouse probably indicate the evolutionary adaptation of excitatory and inhibitory circuits to particular functions.

Walker's mammals of the world
Ronald M. Nowak,Ernest P. Walker +1 more
TL;DR: The sixth edition of Ernest P. Walker's Mammals of the World represents more than half a century of scholarship-and remains true to Walker's vision, smoothly combining thorough scholarship with a popular, readable style to preserve and enhance what the Washington Post called "a landmark of zoological literature."

Calbindin D-28k and parvalbumin in the rat nervous system
TL;DR: The distribution of structures stained with mono- and polyclonal antibodies to the calcium-binding proteins calbindin D-28k and parvalbumin in the nervous system of adult rats is described and it can be stated that cal bindin antibodies mainly label cells with thin, unmyelinated axons projecting in a diffuse manner.

Decreased apoptosis in the brain and premature lethality in CPP32-deficient mice
Keisuke Kuida,Timothy S. Zheng,Songqing Na,Chia-Yi Kuan,Di Yang,Hajime Karasuyama,Pasko Rakic,Richard A. Flavell +7 more
TL;DR: CPP32 is shown to play a critical role during morphogenetic cell death in the mammalian brain during embryonic day 12, resulting in a variety of hyperplasias and disorganized cell deployment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium-binding proteins in the nervous system.
TL;DR: Among the many calcium-binding proteins in the nervous system, parvalbumin, calbindin-D28K and calretinin are particularly striking in their abundance and in the specificity of their distribution.

Linked regularities in the development and evolution of mammalian brains
TL;DR: Analysis of data collected on 131 species of primates, bats, and insectivores showed that the sizes of brain components, from medulla to forebrain, are highly predictable from absolute brain size by a nonlinear function.
