TLDR
Data suggest that the trend for more complex pyramidal cells with anterior progression through OT visual areas is a fundamental organizational principle in primate cortex and is not necessarily related to brain size.About:

Cortex, Cognition and the Cell: New Insights into the Pyramidal Neuron and Prefrontal Function
TL;DR: It is proposed that without specializations in the structure of pyramidal cells, and the circuits they form, human cognitive processing would not have evolved to its present state.

Age-related Dendritic and Spine Changes in Corticocortically Projecting Neurons in Macaque Monkeys
TL;DR: It is possible that the memory and cognitive decline known to occur in old macaque monkeys is related to rather subtle changes in the morphological and molecular integrity of neurons subserving identifiable neocortical association circuits that play a critical role in cognition.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the basic neuronal building block of the cerebral cortex, the pyramidal cell, is characterized by marked differences in structure among primate species, and comparison of the complexity of neuron structure with the size of the cortical area/region in which the cells are located revealed that trends in the granular prefrontal cortex (gPFC) were dramatically different to those in visual cortex.

Pyramidal cell development: postnatal spinogenesis, dendritic growth, axon growth, and electrophysiology.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the anatomical and electrophysiological profiles of pyramidal cells vary among cortical areas at birth, and continue to diverge into adulthood, and the “use it or lose it” notion of synaptic reinforcement may speak to only part of the story.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

How parallel are the primate visual pathways
TL;DR: This proposal that the cortical and subcortical pathways are continuous, so that distinct channels of information that arise in the retina remain segregated up to the highest levels of visual cortex has far-reaching implications for the understanding of the functional organization of the visual system.

Biophysics of computation : information processing in single neurons
TL;DR: This work presents simplified models of individual neurons, and unconventional coupling, of action-potential generation and phase space analysis of neuronal excitability in response to the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
