Connections made via apical synapses seemed to be strengthened by movement information more than those made via basal ...

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 ...

Among its functions are to process sensory information ... a small region of the forebrain and contains a thin layer of pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons. From the observation of ...

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 ...

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 ...
