Is "chandelier" synonymous to "axo-axonic"?

I'd like to know. Maybe chandelier cells are a subtype of axo-axonic cells (AAC)? While googling, I stumble upon phrases like "chandelier (axo-axonic) cell" and "axo-axonic chandelier cell". "Moreover, AACs are a subpopulation within the subpopulation of parvalbumin-containing interneurons" If anybody knows in full the modern classification of GABAergic interneurons, please explain. --CopperKettle 13:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in the hippocampus. I can't be sure about the neocortex. the axo-axonic name due to the peculiar characteristic that these neurons have to innervate (with their axon) almost exclusively the initial segments of Principal (granule and pyramidal)cells's axons, as it is written in the main article. for more informations, I advice you to get this brillant review: Freund & Buzsàki, HIPPOCAMPUS 6: 347-470 (1996), known as The Bible by whomever studies inhibitory cels in the hipocampus. a more specific one is: P Ganter et al, HIPPOCAMPUS 14:232–243 (2004). hope i helped Cheers, brudda_kemist
