Local [[interneuron]]s have short [[axon]]s and form circuits with nearby [[neuron]]s to analyze small pieces of information.

Local [[interneuron]]s control principal cells within individual brain areas, but anecdotal observations indicate that interneuronal axons sometimes extend beyond strict anatomical boundaries. 

Szabo et al. used the case of the [[dentate gyrus]] (DG) to show that boundary-crossing [[interneuron]]s with cell bodies in CA3 and CA1 constitute a numerically significant and diverse population that relays patterns of activity generated within the CA regions back to granule cells. These results reveal the existence of a sophisticated retrograde GABAergic circuit that fundamentally extends the canonical interneuronal network
