TLDR
The migration toward and within the hippocampus, and the maturation of their morphological and neurochemical characteristics are detailed, and potential mechanisms underlying the development of GABAergic interneurons are reviewed.
Abstract
Interneurons are GABAergic neurons responsible for inhibitory activity in the adult hippocampus, thereby controlling the activity of principal excitatory cells through the activation of postsynaptic GABAA receptors. Subgroups of GABAergic neurons innervate specific parts of excitatory neurons. This specificity indicates that particular interneuron subgroups are able to recognize molecules segregated on the membrane of the pyramidal neuron. Once these specific connections are established, a quantitative regulation of their strength must be performed to achieve the proper balance of excitation and inhibition. We will review when and where interneurons are generated. We will then detail their migration toward and within the hippocampus, and the maturation of their morphological and neurochemical characteristics. We will finally review potential mechanisms underlying the development of GABAergic interneurons.

Hippocampal sharp wave‐ripple: A cognitive biomarker for episodic memory and planning

TL;DR: Alteration of the physiological mechanisms supporting SPW‐Rs leads to their pathological conversion, “p‐ripples,” which are a marker of epileptogenic tissue and can be observed in rodent models of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's Disease.

Fate mapping Nkx2.1-lineage cells in the mouse telencephalon.

TL;DR: F fate‐mapping data on Nkx2.1‐lineage neurons throughout the telencephalon is presented, including the cerebral cortex, amygdala, olfactory bulb, striatum, globus pallidus, septum, and nucleus basalis.

Recurrent inhibitory circuitry as a mechanism for grid formation

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stellate cells, the principal cell type in the layer II grid network, are mainly interconnected via inhibitory interneurons, and that stable grid firing can emerge from a simple recurrent inhibitory network.

The Molecular Biology of Axon Guidance

TL;DR: Evidence is accumulating that these mechanisms act simultaneously and in a coordinated manner to direct pathfinding and that they are mediated by mechanistically and evolutionarily conserved ligand-receptor systems.

Mode of cell migration to the superficial layers of fetal monkey neocortex.

TL;DR: Golgi and electronmicroscopic methods were used to define the shapes and intercellular relationships of cells migrating from their sites of origin near the ventricular surface across the intermediate zone to the superficial neocortical layers of the parietooccipital region in the brains of 75‐ to 97‐day monkey fetuses.

Cortical neurons arise in symmetric and asymmetric division zones and migrate through specific phases

TL;DR: It is shown here that neurons are generated in two proliferative zones by distinct patterns of division, and newborn neurons do not migrate directly to the cortex; instead, most exhibit four distinct phases of migration, including a phase of retrograde movement toward the ventricle before migration to the cortical plate.
