“…In a recent study, we have estimated that 0.8% and 1.3% of all neurons in the mouse LA and BA belong to axo-axonic cells, respectively (Vereczki et al, 2021 ). The majority of them (~70%) express PV, while a small fraction lacks this Ca 2+ binding protein (Vereczki et al, 2021 ). Uniformly, axo-axonic cells do not express calbindin (Calb), another Ca 2+ binding protein (Bienvenu et al, 2012 ; Vereczki et al, 2016 ; Andrasi et al, 2017 ; Rovira-Esteban et al, 2019 ), which is typically present in PV basket cells (Vereczki et al, 2006 ; Bienvenu et al, 2012 ; Andrasi et al, 2017 ; Rovira-Esteban et al, 2019 ).…”
