Summary of the essential events and processes that influence interneuron development. Embryonic ages are dominated by proliferation and cell migration. During this period GABA is excitatory. The first postnatal weeks are marked by early activity patterns, including synchronous plateau assemblies (SPAs) that are preceded by giant depolarizing potentials (GDPs). During this later period GABA switches from being excitatory to be inhibitory.
