RESUMO
The multifaceted functions of the brain are borne through seemingly infinite spatiotemporal interactions between its resident neural elements. Using a combinatorial approach, Schuman and colleagues (J. Neurosci. 2018;39:125-139) recently identify four layer 1 cortical interneuron subtypes, including a hitherto uncharacterized neuron they term the 'canopy' cell. Properties unique to each of the subtypes likely endow them with distinct roles in top-down processing.
