“…Interestingly, the activation of GABA A Rs in Cajal Retzius neurons, for which GABA is also depolarizing, causes their programmed cell death through dynamic changes of intracellular Cl − concentrations involving the Cl − transporter NKCC1 and p75NTR signaling (Blanquie, Liebmann, Hübner, Luhmann, & Sinning, ; Kolbaev, Luhmann, & Kilb, ). Programmed cell death is also an important mechanism of oligodendroglia to ensure OL lineage cell balance and region‐specific myelination (Kessaris et al, ; Sun et al, ). It would thus be interesting to test if a mechanism similar to that described for Cajal Retzius neurons, whether synaptic or extrasynaptic, promotes either the death or the survival of oligodendroglia.…”
