Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. 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 ...

Microscopic fluorescence lifetime image of a CA1 pyramidal neuron in the hippocampus of a mouse. The neuron was filled with the sodium-sensitive indicator ING-2 using a so-called patch pipette.

This is a movie showing a dendritic segment of a layer 2/3 pyramidal neuron expressing GCaMP6s (blue) and CyRFP1 (red) during spontaneous calcium dynamics in the motor cortex of a lightly ...

Two recent papers in Neuron have tried to go beyond these contradictions by proposing a new model of CA1 pyramidal neurons, which might help to clarify how integration takes place. The model that ...

In developing the infomorphic neurons, the team was inspired by the way the brain works, especially by the pyramidal cells in ... process of each individual neuron. They applied a novel ...
