GAD1, PVALB, KCNC1
Annotation rationales
PVALB interneurons are fast-spiking inhibitory neurons specialized for rapid perisomatic or axon-initial-segment control of principal cells.
Functional implications
They synchronize network activity, enforce temporal precision and prevent runaway excitation.
