Cortical interneurons inhibit pyramidal cells to a greater degree when they form synapses with the pyramidal cell body than when they form synapses with dendrites.

Identifying FMRP-bound mRNAs in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons reveals cell-type specific regulation of autism-candidate and circadian mRNAs and FMRP-mediated control of memory across the circadian cycle.

Apical and basal dendrites contribute differently to single-neuron orientation selectivity, highlighting the impact of feedforward and feedback signal interactions.

The composition of inhibitory and excitatory synaptic inputs to the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells in mouse cortex is specific to the type of pyramidal cells.

The well-established link between stress and depression could be due to the activity of a population of cells in prefrontal cortex that express a gene mutated in the rare disorder Wolfram syndrome.

Elaborate dendritic branch patterns lead to a local and branch-specific reduction in impedance, which attenuates back-propagating action potentials and limits voltage-gated calcium influx.

A nonspecific cation current mediated by TRPM4 channels is a major contributor to the increase in excitability induced by cholinergic modulation in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, which are thought to play an important role in episodic memory.

Embryonic birthdate is a crucial determinant of heterogeneity among CA1 principal neurons, which include a previously overlooked subpopulation of pioneer neurons.

Dendritic patch-clamp recordings combined with two-photon imaging and glutamate uncaging reveal two types of regenerative calcium spikes in the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons from rat hippocampus.

All perisomatic GABAergic synpases on hippocampal pyramidal cells have a similar GABA_A receptor subunit composition.
