Pyramidal neurons have basal and apical dendrites, including an apical tuft. This preserved core structure suggests that they have conserved core functions, whereas structural variation in other ...

neurons and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons. Each type has distinct functions and synaptic properties that influence how they communicate within neural networks. A type of pyramidal neuron that connects ...

Overall, our findings allow us to reject the hypothesis that the thin basal and apical oblique dendrites of layer-5 neocortical pyramidal neurons function as global summing units that are either ...

neurons and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons, each with different functions in relaying information. Working with proteomics expert Prof. Andy Howden (University of Dundee, UK), they discovered that ...

In research published in Cell Reports, Harnett and his team show how individual neurons can contribute to both parts of this vital duality. By studying the synapses through which pyramidal neurons ...

Cells called pyramidal neurons are thought to be the active neurons ... which could be applied when memory function falters, such as in Alzheimer's disease. Importantly, they also have evidence ...

Red dots are synapses made onto excitatory layer 2/3 pyramidal cells and cyan dots are onto intra-telencephalic-projecting excitatory neurons in ... combination of function and structure at ...

This is a pyramidal neuron, so named for the pyramid ... commands movements and is the hub for higher brain functions, such as consciousness. In his drawing, Cajal gives the branches or dendrites ...
