What type of neurons are pyramidal cells, and where are they primarily located?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the classification and location of pyramidal cells, a specific type of neuron. It requires knowledge of neuron types and brain anatomy to identify the correct description of pyramidal cells.
Answer
Pyramidal cells are multipolar neurons located in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala.
Pyramidal cells are a type of multipolar neuron and the primary excitatory units of the mammalian prefrontal cortex and corticospinal tract. They are primarily located in the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala.
