Developmental dynamics of the prefrontal cortical SST and PV interneuron networks: Insights from the monkey highlight human-specific features.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) in primates is crucial for cognitive functions, with parvalbumin (PV) and somatostatin (SST) interneurons playing key roles. This study in marmoset monkeys explores their developmental dynamics, revealing prolonged maturation of PV interneurons and contrasting SST patterns from rodents, enhancing understanding of primate cortical development.
