Dendritic and Spine Heterogeneity of von Economo Neurons in the Human Cingulate Cortex

Dendritic and Spine Heterogeneity of von Economo Neurons in the Human Cingulate Cortex

The human cingulate cortex (CC), included in the paralimbic cortex, participates in emotion, visceral responses, attention, cognition, and social behaviors. The CC has spindle-shaped/fusiform cell body neurons in its layer V, the von Economo neurons (VENs). VENs have further developed in primates, a...
