Due to branching, the total dendritic length of a pyramidal cell may reach several centimeters.
This emanates from larger pyramidal cells and is much thicker.
"The giant cells" were cortical pyramidal cells of unusual size.
The fiber from a single pyramidal cell will exert an effect on a number of cells in the spinal cord.
Here there is considerably less divergence, and pyramidal cells are in control of definitely fewer muscle fibers.
But the problem was that long-term potentiation takes place in the pyramidal cells of the hippocampus.
They are frequently seen in hippocampal pyramidal cells.
More specifically, pyramidal cells are considered feature detectors that respond to the amplitude of the stimulus.
With proper connections, pyramidal cells take part in the circuitry responsible for vision guided motor function.
They also receive a small number of connections from pyramidal cells located in CA3.
