	Name/Email/Affiliation	Brief note
	Gábor Tamás (edit) (gtamasbio.u-szeged.hu) University of Szeged Szeged, Hungary	showed that instead of exclusively inhibiting the axon initial segment, chandelier cells can also act as uniquely powerful excitatory neurons in the cortex.
	Michael Frotscher (edit) (michael.frotscheranat.uni-freiburg.de) Insitute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Freiburg, Germany	first to identify and describe chandelier cells in the dentate gyrus.
	Peter Somogyi (edit) (peter.somogyipharm.ox.ac.uk) Anatomical Neuropharmacology Unit, University of Oxford, UK	first to demonstrate in the neocortex that the exclusive postsynaptic elements of chandelier cells were axon initial segments of pyramidal cells, a finding that was later confirmed in the hippocampus and dentate gyrus
	Michael Arbib (edit) (arbibusc.edu) University of Southern California, USA	discovered chandelier cells in the neocortex.
