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 ...

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

Researchers in Germany have made a big step forward in making artificial intelligence more like the human brain. They’ve ...

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

Using a whole-brain fluorescence imaging technique developed at Janelia, scientists captured axons of pyramidal tract neurons leaving the motor cortex. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Both of these investigations were done on pyramidal cells in somatosensory cortex of rats, whereas Ren et al. 3 studied cells in visual cortex of mice; perhaps these inhibitory circuits vary ...

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 ...

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 ...

In developing the infomorphic neurons, the team was inspired by the way the brain works, especially by the pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex. These also process stimuli from different sources ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral ... cortex by recording brain cell responses ...

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 ...
