This is a network of pyramidal cells in the cerebral cortex. These neurons have been simulated using a computer program which captures the beautiful dendritic architecture of real pyramidal cells.

A team of researchers has created the first 'multiome' atlas of brain cell development in the human cerebral cortex across six broad developmental time points from fetal development into adulthood, ...

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 ...

There are two fundamental theories in biology: Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection and the cell theory, the observation that organismic life consists of one or more cells, the atoms of ...

The cerebral cortex is thought to be the seat of conscious processing in the brain. Rather than being inactivated, specific cells in the cortex show higher spontaneous activity during general ...

In a paper recently published in Neuron, researchers from the group of Botond Roska at IOB reveal how different cell types in cortex change their activity during general anesthesia, helping to ...

Using a new approach for studying live embryonic mouse brains at single-cell resolution, researchers headed by a team at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) have ...
