Details for: CL0000598

Cell ID: CL0000598

Cell Name: pyramidal neuron

Marker Score Threshold: 1679
(Derived using integrated single-cell and genomic data)

Description: Pyramidal neurons have a pyramid-shaped soma with a single axon, a large apical dendrite and multiple basal dendrites. The apex and an apical dendrite typically point toward the pial surface and other dendrites and an axon emerging from the base. The axons may have local collaterals but also project outside their region. Pyramidal neurons are found in the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala.

Synonyms: projection neuron, pyramidal cell

formation of new membranes. 2. **Membrane trafficking**: Pyramidal neurons are involved in membrane trafficking, which is the transport of membranes within the cell. 3. **Membrane organization**: Pyramidal neurons are involved in membrane organization, which is the maintenance of membrane structure. 4. **Regulation of membrane potential**: Pyramidal neurons are involved in the regulation of membrane potential, which is the electrical potential of the neuron. 5. **Regulation of synaptic cleft**: Pyramidal neurons are involved in the regulation of synaptic cleft, which is the small gap between two neurons where chemical signals are transmitted. **Regulation of Gene Expression** 1. **Positive
