“…Basic morphological features of WMICs were indicative of a neuronal phenotype (Neuburger, 1922;Lund et al, 1975;Kostovic and Rakic, 1980;Chun and Shatz, 1989;Muller, 1994;Shering and Lowenstein, 1994;Eastwood and Harrison, 2005;Friedlander and Torres-Reveron, 2009;Loup et al, 2009), a notion that was also supported by electron microscopy data (Valverde and Facal-Valverde, 1988). While there is ample information about the immunohistochemical signature of WMICs, such as the expression of GABA and specific GABAergic interneuron markers (Innis et al, 1979;Adrian et al, 1983;Schmechel et al, 1984;Shults et al, 1984;Somogyi et al, 1984;Chan-Palay et al, 1985;Sandell, 1986;Yan et al, 1996;Bayraktar et al, 1997;Tao et al, 1999;Suárez-Solá et al, 2009), only a few studies focused on electrophysiological properties of WMICs (Clancy et al, 2001;Torres-Reveron and Friedlander, 2007;Friedlander and Torres-Reveron, 2009).…”
