| Descriptor in English: | Pyramidal Cells |
| Descriptor in Spanish: | Células Piramidales |
| Descriptor in Portuguese: | Células Piramidais |
| Descriptor in French: | Cellules pyramidales |
| Entry term(s): |
Cell, Pyramidal Cells, Pyramidal Neuron, Pyramidal Neurons, Pyramidal Pyramidal Cell Pyramidal Neuron Pyramidal Neurons |
| Tree number(s): |
A08.675.790 A11.671.790 |
| Scope note: | Projection neurons in the CEREBRAL CORTEX and the HIPPOCAMPUS. Pyramidal cells have a pyramid-shaped soma with the apex and an apical dendrite pointed toward the pial surface and other dendrites and an axon emerging from the base. The axons may have local collaterals but also project outside their cortical region. |
