...Kenneth Y. Kwan; Nenad Šestan; E. S. Anton The cerebral neocortex is segregated into six horizontal layers, each containing unique populations of molecularly and functionally distinct excitatory projection (pyramidal) neurons and inhibitory interneurons. Development of the neocortex requires...

...,Zfp288 ) encodes two protein isoforms, designated Zbtb20 S and Zbtb20 L , which are expressed in newborn pyramidal neurons of the presumptive hippocampus in mice. Here, we have generated transgenic mice with ectopic expression of Zbtb20 S and Zbtb20 L in immature pyramidal neurons differentiated from...

Inhibiting NF-κB activation or NF-κB transcriptional activity in layer 2 pyramidal neurons in postnatal somatosensory cortical slices reduced dendritic arbor size...
