Complementary Sensory and Associative Microcircuitry in Primary Olfactory Cortex [PDF]
The three-layered primary olfactory (piriform) cortex is the largest component of the olfactory cortex. Sensory and intracortical inputs converge on principal cells in the anterior piriform cortex (aPC).Wecharacterize organization principles of the ...

Genes, Cells and Brain Areas of Intelligence
What is the neurobiological basis of human intelligence? The brains of some people seem to be more efficient than those of others. Understanding the biological foundations of these differences is of great interest to basic and applied neuroscience ...

The influence of GABAergic signaling on dendritic processing [PDF]
GABAergic (?-aminobutyric acid-releasing) signaling plays a crucial role in integration processes of pyramidal neurons. Specific subtypes of GABA releasing interneurons innervate different compartments of pyramidal neurons; thereby modulating the ...

Von Economo Neurons in the Human Medial Frontopolar Cortex
The von Economo neurons (VEN) are characterized by a large soma, spindle-like soma, with little dendritic arborization at both, the basal and apical poles.

Recurrent connections between CA2 pyramidal cells [PDF]
Abstract Recurrent excitatory synapses are shown theoretically to play roles in memory storage and associative learning, and such recurrent synapses are well described to occur in the CA3 region of the hippocampus. Here, we report that the CA2 region also contains recurrent excitatory monosynaptic couplings.

Age-dependent changes of p53 and p63 immunoreactivities in the mouse hippocampus
P53 and its family member p63 play important roles in cellular senescence and organismal aging. In this study, p53 and p63 immunoreactivity were examined in the hippocampus of young, adult and aged mice by using immunohistochemistry.

Morphological Characteristics of Electrophysiologically Characterized Layer Vb Pyramidal Cells in Rat Barrel Cortex. [PDF]
Layer Vb pyramidal cells are the major output neurons of the neocortex and transmit the outcome of cortical columnar signal processing to distant target areas. At the same time they contribute to local tactile information processing by emitting recurrent

Summary: Hippocampal somatostatin (SOM) cells are dendrite-projecting inhibitory interneurons. CA1 SOM cells receive major excitatory inputs from pyramidal cells (PC-SOM synapses) which show mGluR1a- and mTORC1-mediated long-term potentiation (LTP).

Computational Modeling of Genetic Contributions to Excitability and Neural Coding in Layer V Pyramidal Cells: Applications to Schizophrenia Pathology [PDF]
Pyramidal cells in layer V of the neocortex are one of the most widely studied neuron types in the mammalian brain. Due to their role as integrators of feedforward and cortical feedback inputs, they are well-positioned to contribute to the symptoms and ...
