Neurogliaform (NGC) cell type
What makes NGCs special? Explore their molecular architectures.
Neurogliaform morphologies
How do NGCs look like? Explore their different morphological flavours.
Neurogliaform subtypes
How different are NGC subtypes? Explore their specific gene expression.
Neurogliaform development
Newborn NGCs? Explore the embryonic molecular programs underlying their specification and diversification.
Cell types
Explore the postnatal-conserved molecular signatures that differentiate NGCs from other Htr3a-expressing cortical interneurons. Specific transcription factor families constitutively characterise each cell type.
Morphologies
Visit the gallery of E14.5 POA-born cortical NGCs labelled by in-utero electroporation (custom rotation and zooming). Morphological heterogeneity correlates with NGC identity and positioning.
Subtypes
Browse what makes NGC subtypes different through postnatal maturation: Cortical Dock5- and Lsp1-NGCs express different sets of genes that indicate their functional specialisation.
Development
Discover the emergence of early NGC transcriptional programs and the emergence of NGC subtype identity. Several molecular markers are already NGC specific at E14.5, as is the case for Tox2. NGC subtypes express different Eph receptors.
