Identification and basic electrophysiological properties of neocortical pyramidal neurons and GABAergic interneurons. (A) Typical interference contrast image of a pyramidal neuron (arrowhead in left image) and the same neuron after biocytin-labeling and subsequent histochemical processing. (B) Voltage-traces of the neuron shown in A upon injection of de- and hyperpolarizing current pulses. (C) Confocal fluorescence images displaying GFP-positive interneurons (left), a biocytin-labeled recorded neuron (middle) and the merged picture (right). (D) Representative voltage traces of a GABAergic interneuron. Note the high firing frequency in this recording.
