Abstract
Diverse types of neocortical interneurons have distinct laminar fate, neurochemical marker expression, morphology, and electrophysiological properties. Although the specifications and laminar fate of medial ganglionic eminence-derived neocortical interneurons depend on their location of embryonic origin and birthdate, no similar causality of lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence (LGE/CGE)-derived neocortical interneurons is known. Here, we performed in utero electroporation on mouse LGE/CGE and found two groups of animals, one with preferential labeling of layer I and the other with preferential labeling of other layers. Interneurons labeled in these two groups show distinct neurochemical properties and morphologies and are associated with labeling of distinct subcortical structures. These findings suggest that the laminar fate of LGE/CGE-derived neocortical interneurons depends on their spatial origin.
