Pyramidal neurons are a very common type of neuron in the brain. Their cell bodies have a unique pyramidal shape that is the source of their name. They make up about two-thirds of all neurons in the ...

Memory is often understood purely on a theoretical, cognitive basis. However, this perspective can only explain so much. Neuroanatomy offers an understanding of the physical areas of the brain in ...

A collaborative study sheds light on how cannabis use affects brain development in young people, the main one being atrophy of certain regions of the cerebral cortex. Cannabis use may lead to thinning ...
