AJP CME: August 2026 – Transcriptional Profiles of Somatostatin and Parvalbumin Interneuron Subtypes in the Human Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex: Implications for Schizophrenia

Alterations in the somatostatin (SST) and parvalbumin (PVALB) classes of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are thought to contribute to the core cognitive impairments of schizophrenia. Both classes of interneurons are composed of multiple subtypes, but the distinguishing features and relative proportions of these subtypes have not been determined in the DLPFC. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of these subtypes from young and middle-age adults with no known psychiatric disorders.
