=Pyramidal Cell=


 * Pyramidal neurons** (pyramidal cells) are a type of [|neuron] found in areas of the brain including [|cerebral cortex], the [|hippocampus], and in the [|amygdala]. Pyramidal neurons are the primary excitation units of the mammalian [|prefrontal cortex] and the [|corticospinal tract]. Pyramidal neurons were first discovered and studied by [|Santiago Ramón y Cajal].[|[1]][|[2]] Since then, studies on pyramidal neurons have focused on topics ranging from [|neuroplasticity] to [|cognition].
