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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
