Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative analysis of a vulnerable subset of pyramidal neurons in Alzheimer's disease: I. Superior frontal and inferior temporal cortex.

TL;DR: In this article, a monoclonal antibody (SMI32) was used to identify the perikarya and dendrites of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal and inferior temporal cortices of normal and Alzheimer's disease brains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons in the neocortex are resistant to degeneration in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The results suggest that paravalbumin-immunoreactive cells represent a neuronal subset resistant to degeneration, and further support the hypothesis that the pathological process in Alzheimer's disease involves specific neuronal subtypes with particular morphological and molecular characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intratelencephalic projections of the visual wulst in pigeons (Columba livia).

TL;DR: The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin was used to follow the intratelencephalic connections of the major constituents of the visual wulst in pigeons to investigate efferent pathways from the granular layer, supragranularlayer, and infragranular layers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct populations of tectal neurons have unique connections within the retinotectorotundal pathway of the pigeon (Columba livia)

TL;DR: It is proposed that there are two distinct types of layer 13 neurons that project to the rotundus, and that these axons are derived from a population of small retinal ganglion cells that terminate on the distal dendrites of type I neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bottlebrush dendritic endings and large dendritic fields: motion-detecting neurons in the tectofugal pathway.

TL;DR: The results suggest how the unique morphological characteristics of SGC neurons contribute to the large receptive fields found in physiological recordings and the SGC neuronal response to extremely small (ca. 0.05°), fast‐moving (100°/second) stimuli.
