LiveScience article: Strange, two-faced brain cells confirmed to exist, and they may play a role in schizophrenia

Don't know if this could have any relevance for ME [eta: or, more likely, FND] but posting because
a) it demonstrates how little we know about the brain, or anything really (after yesterday stumbling across another paper where they found 10,000 - yes, ten thousand - previously unknown viruses in baby faeces), and
b) it may be of interest to members with autism or schizophrenia.

Refers to this extremely technical paper (open access but haven't read)

Caveat - In Mice !

"We find that CCK&Dlx5/6 driven expression overlaps heavily with PV expression in GABAergic interneurons in mouse hippocampus and neocortex. We extend this finding to monkey hippocampus and find PV/CCK co-expression. For most of our subsequent work, we focus on the mouse hippocampus because of our extensive prior work there and because of its regular anatomical and neuronal structure."
