Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by ...

The brain is, in fact, structured in layers like an onion and each layer is defined by the cell types that populate it, which have been given descriptive names like pyramidal, chandelier and ...

BRAIN CANDY A new database offers a deep look at living human nerve cells, revealing elaborate branching structures and myriad shapes, such as in this neuron called a pyramidal cell (cell image ...

Detail of a pyramidal cell. Dendrites are red and orange. The axon is blue. Source: Allen Institute for Brain Science Neuroscience got its start more than 100 years ago when Santiago Ramon y Cajal ...

In rodents and in humans, two neuronal types predominate within layer II of the entorhinal cortex: multipolar stellate neurons, and pyramidal neurons (Naumann et al., 2016; Witter et al., 2017). While ...
