The BMP pathway runs at a right angle to the Wnt pathway, thereby creating an asymmetrical pattern of neuronal cell types in the widely diffuse neuronal net of the sea anemone. (sciencedaily.com)
By selectively ablating specific neuronal cell types, in a time - and spatially - dependent manner, one can perform «surgical» lesions and examine the resultant changes with much greater precision. (salk.edu)
Neuronal cell types in the brains of birds linked to goal - directed behaviors and cognition are similar to cells in the mammalian neocortex, the large, layered structure on the outer surface of the brain where most higher - order processing takes place. (sciencedaily.com)
