Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse

Conclusions: These findings support the view that neurochemistry provides a valuable way of classifying inhibitory interneurons in the superficial laminae. Together with previous evidence that the PrP-GFP cells form a relatively homogeneous population in terms of their physiological properties, they suggest that these neurons have specific roles in processing sensory information in the dorsal horn.
