description | A VIP GABAergic cortical interneuron with bipolar morphology, with a soma found in L2/3. L2/3 bipolar VIP cells have extending axons across all layers (with preferences for layers II/III and Va) and a dendritic tree that is vertically more restricted than deeper layer VIP cells and extend fewer dendrites into the layers outside their home layer (location of soma). L2/3 bipolar VIP cells have great variability in firing patterns, though most are continuous adapting. L2/3 bipolar VIP cells are more depolarized in their resting state, had less fast rectification, and had smaller after hyperpolarization than deeper VIP cells. |
