This is an important study utilizing innovative CRISPR based approaches demonstrating the role of the KLF family of transcription factors in the post natal maturation of cortical projection neurons.

We recorded and intracellularly labeled 38 cat lamina I neurons. All 12 fusiform cells were nociceptive-specific, responsive only to pinch and/or heat. All 11 pyramidal cells were thermoreceptive ...

However, researchers recently examined layer 2/3 (L2/3) pyramidal neurons from human brain tissue ... long-held beliefs about how neural networks function and highlights the sophistication ...

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a ...

neurons and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons, each with different functions in relaying information. Read the full story here.

The work offers a glimpse into how each neuron functions as it encodes memories ... Another branch relays outgoing messages to neighboring cells. But neurons come in multiple shapes and sizes. Some ...
