Neural precursor lineages specify distinct neocortical pyramidal neuron types.
Several neural precursor populations contemporaneously generate neurons in the developing neocortex. Specifically, radial glial stem cells of the dorsal telencephalon divide asymmetrically to produce excitatory neurons, but also indirectly to produce neurons via three types of intermediate progenitor cells. Why so many precursor types are needed to produce neurons has not been established; whet...
متن کاملActive properties of neocortical pyramidal neuron dendrites.
Dendrites are the main recipients of synaptic inputs and are important sites that determine neurons' input-output functions. This review focuses on thin neocortical dendrites, which receive the vast majority of synaptic inputs in cortex but also have specialized electrogenic properties. We present a simplified working-model biophysical scheme of pyramidal neurons that attempts to capture the es...
متن کاملHierarchical Organization of Neocortical Neuron Types
2 Abstract The neocortex consists of many diverse neuron populations distributed across cortical layers having specialized connectivity and projection patterns. Glutamatergic pyramidal cells, which are cortical projection neurons, reside in all layers except layer 1, while GABAergic nonpyramidal cells are ubiquitous throughout all cortical layers. These broad classes of excitatory and inhibitor...
متن کاملDistinct functional types of associative long-term potentiation in neocortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
The response of a neuron to a time-varying stimulus is influenced by both short- and long-term synaptic plasticity. Both these forms of plasticity produce changes in synaptic efficacy of similar magnitude on very different time scales. A full understanding of the functional role of each form of plasticity relies on understanding how they interact. Here we examine how long-term potentiation (LTP...
متن کاملDeterminants of voltage attenuation in neocortical pyramidal neuron dendrites.
How effectively synaptic and regenerative potentials propagate within neurons depends critically on the membrane properties and intracellular resistivity of the dendritic tree. These properties therefore are important determinants of neuronal function. Here we use simultaneous whole-cell patch-pipette recordings from the soma and apical dendrite of neocortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons to direc...
