are pyramidal. Investigations into the molecular diversity of neurons is impeded by the inability to isolate cell populations born at different times for gene expression analysis. An effective means of identifying interneurons is neuronal birthdating. This can be achieved using nucleoside analogs such as EdU.

In 2008, a nomenclature for the features of GABAergic cortical interneurons was proposed, called Petilla terminology.
