Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. 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 ...

The recent report of an astrocytoma following the pyramidal tract (Dec. 7 issue) 1 was quite interesting. We report on the use of fludeoxyglucose F18 positron-emission tomography (PET) in the ...

The response of single units in cuneate and gracile nuclei to cutaneous stimulation can be modified by prior stimulation of the motor cortex of the cat. Both excitation and inhibition of these neurons ...
