The pyramidal cell in cognition: a comparative study in human and monkey.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 1 Sept 2001

Elston G N, Benavides-Piccione R, DeFelipe J

Abstract excerpt

Here we present evidence that the pyramidal cell phenotype varies markedly in the cortex of different anthropoid species. Regional and species differences in the size of, number of bifurcations in, and spine density of the basal dendritic arbors cannot be explained by brain size. Instead, pyramidal cell morphology appears to accord with the specialized cortical function these cells perform. Cells in the...
