Electrophysiological study in human brain slices reveals that short-term synaptic plasticity from presynaptic pyramidal neuron to postsynaptic interneuron connections are target-cell ... We performed ...

Neuron is on one side of the brain (labeled in red) and nerve endings are coming from the other side of the brain (labeled in green). Credit: Camilo Ferrer. ... Gabrb3 is required for the functional ...

Ikezu and colleagues reasoned that perhaps previous models were starting off with the wrong type of neuron to send tau on its way. In rodents and in humans, two neuronal types predominate within layer ...

Cajal’s pyramidal neuron — which he called a “noble and enigmatic cell of thought” — has meticulous attention to the lightly drawn dendrites that radiate from the triangular cell, giving ...

This is a pyramidal neuron, so named for the pyramid-shaped body at the center of this drawing, from the cerebral cortex of a human. This outermost layer of the brain integrates information from ...
