description

Abstract γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)-like immunoreactive (GABA-LI) neurons were found throughout the mediolateral and rostrocaudal axis of the dorsal cortex. They were horizontal, vertical and multipolar cells, mainly distributed in layers 1 and 3. GABA-LI boutons were diffusely distributed in layers 1 and 3, as well as forming basket-like images around layer 2 pyramidal perikarya. Double labelling experiments indicate that GABA-LI cells are an origin of and a target for rostrocaudal intrinsic projections within the dorsal cortex.
