Our whole-cell recordings from human and monkey cortical slices reveal a distinct subpopulation of inhibitory interneuron with intrinsic persistent activity. Weak stimuli can turn on the persistent activity; however, strong stimuli can turn it off. This type of neuron could not be found in rodent cortical tissues, suggesting it could be unique to primates. Wang et al., 2015.
