The cerebral cortex is structured into functional areas and six horizontal layers. Within the cortex, different subtypes of neurons have distinct projections patterns and functions. To better understand how information is processed, and how the pyramidal cell output signal is formed, we need specific markers to investigate the function of more homogenous subpopulations of interneurons. In this study we used Chrna2 to specifically label a subset of Martinotti cells. With rabies viral tracers, combined with immunohistochemistry, we investigated the presynaptic connectivity of these cells, in dif
