Chandelier Cells in Functional and Dysfunctional Neural Circuits

Chandelier cells (ChCs; also called axo-axonic cells) are a specialized GABAergic interneuron subtype that selectively innervates pyramidal neurons at the axon initial segment, the site of action potential generation. ChC connectivity allows for powerful yet precise modulation of large populations o...
