Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the cerebral cortex of mammals, making them important for many ...

Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

The GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid)-ergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex are a diverse population of cells. Their diversity is manifested in every aspect of their phenotype, as evidenced by their ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...

Cornell researchers have identified a pair of key neurological mechanisms in the brain—a cell ... pyramidal tract neurons and their specific serotonin 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal ...

However, researchers recently examined layer 2/3 (L2/3) pyramidal neurons from human brain tissue, specifically from the cerebral cortex ... of a neuron (nerve cell) that act as its main receiving ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists have demonstrated that neurons can transform from one type to another. Neurons are specialized brain cells responsible for ...
