TL;DR: A representative group of researchers are convened to agree on a set of terms to describe the anatomical, physiological and molecular features of GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex, and the resulting terminology might provide a stepping stone towards a future classification of these complex and heterogeneous cells.

TL;DR: A possible taxonomical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based interactive system that allows experts to classify neurons with pre-determined criteria is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure of dendritic spines: correlation between synaptic and spine morphologies.
TL;DR: For all morphological parameters analyzed, spines exhibited a continuum of variability, without clearly distinguishable subtypes of spines or clear dependence of their morphologies on their distance to the soma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pyramidal cell in cognition: a comparative study in human and monkey.
TL;DR: The results suggest that highly spinous, compartmentalized, pyramidal cells (and the circuits they form) are required to perform complex cortical functions such as comprehension, perception, and planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical area and species differences in dendritic spine morphology
TL;DR: The data suggests that the average synaptic input is modulated according to cortical area and differs among species, and the implications of these findings for common algorithms of cortical processing are discussed.
