| Article Title: | Generation of diverse cortical inhibitory interneurons |
| Abstract: | First described by Ramon y Cajal as ‘short-axon’ cells over a century ago, inhibitory interneurons in the cerebral cortex make up ~20–30% of the neuronal milieu. A key feature of these interneurons is the striking structural and functional diversity, which allows them to modulate neural activity in diverse ways and ultimately endow neural circuits with remarkable computational power. Here, we review our current understanding of the generation of cortical interneurons, with a focus on recent efforts to bridge the gap between progenitor behavior and interneuron production, and how these aspects influence interneuron diversity and organization.
