Neuronal cell death in the central nervous system has always been a challenging process to
decipher. In normal physiological conditions, neuronal cell death is restricted in the adult …

Cortical layers have classically been identified by their distinctive and prevailing cell types
and sizes, as well as the packing densities of cell bodies or myelinated fibers. The densities …

With aging, various factors deteriorate the normal sleep process that is essential for the
restoration of functional and physical performance. Due to aging-related diseases, life …

In this brief review, I attempt an overview of the main components of anatomical laminar-
level connectivity. These are: extrinsic outputs, excitatory and inhibitory intrinsic connectivity …

Using stereological analysis of NeuN-stained sections, we investigated neuronal density
and number of neurons per column throughout the marmoset cortex. Estimates of mean …

In mammals, subplate neurons (SPNs) are among the first generated cortical neurons. While
most SPNs exist only transiently during development, a number of SPNs persist among adult …

White matter interstitial neurons (WMIN) are a subset of cortical neurons located in the
subcortical white matter. Although they were fist described over 150 years ago, they are still …

We quantified and determined for the first time the distribution pattern of the neuropeptide
NPFF in the human cerebral cortex and subjacent white matter. To do so, we studied n= 9 …

In the adult human brain, the interstitial neurons (WMIN) of the subcortical white matter are
the surviving remnants of the fetal subplate zone. It has been suggested that they perform …

The human early postnatal brain contains late migratory streams of immature interneurons
that are directed to cortex and other focal brain regions. However, such migration is not …
