Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights the differences between two types of these brain cells—intratelencephalic (IT) neurons and pyramidal tract ...

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 ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by ...

Using a whole-brain fluorescence imaging technique developed at Janelia, scientists captured axons of pyramidal tract neurons leaving the motor cortex. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
