title: Interneurons of the cat sensorimotor cortex.
abstract: In this paper a review is given on the interneurons of the cerebral cortex, their subdivisions and neurophysiology. Special concern is given to short axon (local) interneurons and long-axon (association and callosal) stellate cells. Data obtained from simultaneous recordings of more than one neuron are also presented. However, further research is needed to demonstrate the essential role of the interneurons in information processing.
