da Rocha E, Freire M, Bahia C, Pereira A, Sosthenes M, Silveira L, et al.
Neuroscience . 2012 May; 216:94-102. PMID: 22542676
The cerebral cortex is often described as a composite of repeated units or columns, integrating the same basic circuit. The 'ice-cube' model of cortical organization, and 'canonical' circuit, born from...

Ballesteros-Yanez I, Benavides-Piccione R, Elston G, Yuste R, DeFelipe J
Neuroscience . 2006 Feb; 138(2):403-9. PMID: 16457955
Dendritic spines of pyramidal cells are the main postsynaptic targets of cortical excitatory synapses and as such, they are fundamental both in neuronal plasticity and for the integration of excitatory...

Benavides-Piccione R, Dierssen M, Ballesteros-Yanez I, Martinez de Lagran M, Arbones M, Fotaki V, et al.
Neurobiol Dis . 2005 Sep; 20(1):115-22. PMID: 16137572
The gene encoding the dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase DYRK1A maps to the chromosomal segment HSA21q22.2, which lies within the Down syndrome critical region. The reduction in brain size and behavioral defects...

Elston G, Benavides-Piccione R, Elston A, DeFelipe J, Manger P
Neuroscience . 2005 Jun; 134(3):1057-68. PMID: 15979808
Recent studies have revealed systematic differences in the pyramidal cell structure between functionally related cortical areas of primates. Trends for a parallel in pyramidal cell structure and functional complexity have...

Alonso-Nanclares L, White E, Elston G, DeFelipe J
Eur J Neurosci . 2004 Feb; 19(3):771-6. PMID: 14984428
Pyramidal neurons are covered with dendritic spines, the main postsynaptic targets of excitatory (asymmetrical) synapses. However, the proximal portion of both the apical and basal dendrites is devoid of spines,...

Dierssen M, Benavides-Piccione R, Martinez-Cue C, Estivill X, Florez J, Elston G, et al.
Cereb Cortex . 2003 Jun; 13(7):758-64. PMID: 12816891
Mental retardation in individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is thought to result from anomalous development and function of the brain; however, the underlying neuropathological processes have yet to be determined....

Elston G
Neuroscience . 2003 Feb; 117(1):213-9. PMID: 12605907
Recent studies have revealed marked variation in pyramidal cell structure in the visual cortex of macaque and marmoset monkeys. In particular, there is a systematic increase in the size of,...

Elston G, DeFelipe J
Cereb Cortex . 2001 Nov; 11(12):1170-81. PMID: 11709488
Immunocytochemical techniques were used to examine the distribution of neurons immunoreactive (-ir) for nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), somatostatin (SOM), neuropeptide Y (NPY), parvalbumin (PV), calbindin (CB) and calretinin (CR), in...

Elston G, Benavides-Piccione R, DeFelipe J
J Neurosci . 2001 Aug; 21(17):RC163. PMID: 11511694
Here we present evidence that the pyramidal cell phenotype varies markedly in the cortex of different anthropoid species. Regional and species differences in the size of, number of bifurcations in,...

Exp Brain Res . 2001 Jun; 138(2):141-52. PMID: 11417455
Pyramidal neurones were injected with Lucifer Yellow in slices cut tangential to the surface of area 7 m and the superior temporal polysensory area (STP) of the macaque monkey. Comparison...
