GABAergic cortical interneurons have important roles in the computations of neural circuits, but their developmental origin in primates is controversial. Here the authors characterize neural stem cell and progenitor cell organization in the developing human ganglionic eminences and reveal that, just as in rodents, they give rise to a majority of cortical GABAergic neurons.
