TLDR
It is proposed that the majority of primate neocortical GABAergic interneurons originate from ganglionic eminences of the ventral telencephalon, and this work reveals that the mammalian neocortex shares basic rules for interneuron development, substantially reshaping the understanding of the origin and classification ofPrimate neocortex.
Abstract
In primates, the developmental origin of neocortical interneurons is controversial. Here the authors map out expression patterns of key transcription factors in the developing human and monkey brain and reveal that, just as in rodents, the majority of cortical GABAergic neurons originate from the ganglionic eminences.

Telencephalic Tissue Formation in 3D Stem Cell Culture

TL;DR: The generation of telencephalic tissues from human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) provides a new experimental platform for biomedical research, such as disease modeling, drug screening, and cell-based transplantation therapy.

Comparative Features of Calretinin, Calbindin and Parvalbumin Expressing Interneurons in Mouse and Monkey Primary Visual and Frontal Cortices

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors quantified the distribution and somato-dendritic morphology of interneurons expressing one or more of the calcium binding proteins (CaBPs) calretinin (CR), calbindin (CB) and/or parvalbumin (PV) in mouse (Mus musculus) versus rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta).

Human brains teach us a surprising lesson

TL;DR: A population of interneurons that migrate to the cortex during infancy to establish inhibitory circuits is identified, indicating that the cortex is able to function only when excitatory and inhibitory activities in the brain are balanced.

The Neonatal Gyrencephalic Cortex Maintains Regionally Distinct Streams of Neuroblasts

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors demonstrate that neonatal gyrencephalic brains harbor an expanded subventricular zone, termed the Arc, defined by tiered arrangement of doublecortin (DCX)-expressing neuroblasts and vascular enrichment at the ventricular wall.

Auditory and visual system white matter is differentially impacted by normative aging in macaques

TL;DR: The results suggest that age-related sensory processing deficits in part result from factors that impact the condition of specific white matter tracts, and not from general decreases in connectivity between sensory brain regions.

Model of autism: increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in key neural systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a model that postulates that some forms of autism are caused by an increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in sensory, mnemonic, social and emotional systems is proposed.

Cortical inhibitory neurons and schizophrenia

TL;DR: Convergent findings indicate that a deficiency in signalling through the TrkB neurotrophin receptor leads to reduced GABA synthesis in the parvalbumin-containing subpopulation of inhibitory GABA neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of individuals with schizophrenia.

Spatio-temporal transcriptome of the human brain

TL;DR: The generation and analysis of exon-level transcriptome and associated genotyping data, representing males and females of different ethnicities, from multiple brain regions and neocortical areas of developing and adult post-mortem human brains, finds that 86 per cent of the genes analysed were expressed, and that 90 per cent were differentially regulated at the whole-transcript or exon level acrossbrain regions and/or time.

Three groups of interneurons account for nearly 100% of neocortical GABAergic neurons

TL;DR: The universal modulation of these neurons by serotonin and acetylcholine via ionotropic receptors suggests that they might be involved in shaping cortical circuits during specific brain states andbehavioral contexts.

Neurogenic radial glia in the outer subventricular zone of human neocortex

TL;DR: This work finds that OSVZ radial glia-like cells have a long basal process but, surprisingly, are non-epithelial as they lack contact with the ventricular surface, and demonstrates that these cells can undergo proliferative divisions and self-renewing asymmetric divisions to generate neuronal progenitor cells that can proliferate further.
