Pyramidal Cells in Olfactory Cortex. [PDF]
The neocortex and olfactory cortices share many features including their laminar organization, developmental sequences, and cell types. Previous work indicates that neocortical pyramidal cells exhibit a gradient of dendritic size: cells involved in the ...

Cell-type specific innervation of cortical pyramidal cells at their apical dendrites
We investigated the synaptic innervation of apical dendrites of cortical pyramidal cells in a region between layers (L) 1 and 2 using 3-D electron microscopy applied to four cortical regions in mouse.

Parvalbumin-positive basket cells differentiate among hippocampal pyramidal cells. [PDF]
CA1 pyramidal cells (PCs) are not homogeneous but rather can be grouped by molecular, morphological, and functional properties. However, less is known about synaptic sources differentiating PCs. Using paired recordings in vitro, two-photon Ca(2+) imaging in vivo, and computational modeling, we found that parvalbumin-expressing basket cells (PVBCs ...

Effect of juvenile social isolation on excitability of prefrontal pyramidal cells with different subcortical axonal projections [PDF]
BackgroundSocial experience during development is crucial for the functional maturation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Juvenile social isolation (JSI) causes severe PFC dysfunction. JSI reduces intrinsic excitability and excitatory synaptic inputs for a

Pyramidal cells accumulate chloride at seizure onset. [PDF]
Seizures are thought to originate from a failure of inhibition to quell hyperactive neural circuits, but the nature of this failure remains unknown. Here we combine high-speed two-photon imaging with electrophysiological recordings to directly evaluate the interaction between populations of interneurons and principal cells during the onset of seizure ...

Layer III pyramidal cells in the prefrontal cortex reveal morphological changes in subjects with depression, schizophrenia, and suicide [PDF]
Brodmann Area 46 (BA46) has long been regarded as a hotspot of disease pathology in individuals with schizophrenia (SCH) and major depressive disorder (MDD).

Objective Morphological Classification of Neocortical Pyramidal Cells
A consensus on the number of morphologically different types of pyramidal cells (PCs) in the neocortex has not yet been reached, despite over a century of anatomical studies, due to the lack of agreement on the subjective classifications of neuron types,

Autapses enhance bursting and coincidence detection in neocortical pyramidal cells
While autapses are synapses made by a neuron onto itself, its functional significance in pyramidal cells are not clear. Here, the authors show that in the mammalian neocortex, autapses of pyramidal cells can enhance burst firing and coincidence detection

Cell-type specific inhibitory plasticity in subicular pyramidal cells. [PDF]
The balance between excitation and inhibition is essential to the proper function of cortical circuits. To maintain this balance during dynamic network activity, modulation of the strength of inhibitory synapses is a central requirement. In this study, we aimed to characterize perisomatic inhibition and its plasticity onto pyramidal cells (PCs) in the ...
