The morphology and axonal connections of the major types of GABAergic interneuron are illustrated on the left, with extra information provided in table form on the right. This is a simplified version of all the possible phenotypic sub-types that have been described. Size of text indicates proportion of interneurons expressing a particular molecular marker. Multiple expression of markers is common. There is variation between species (see text). CALB1 and CALB2 are also known as calbindin and calretinin, 5HT3aR is a subtype of ionotropic serotonin receptor, NPY is neuropeptide Y, nNOS is neuronal nitric oxide synthase.
