New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons

J DeFelipe, PL López-Cruz… - Nature Reviews …, 2013 - nature.com
A systematic classification and accepted nomenclature of neuron types is much needed but
is currently lacking. This article describes a possible taxonomical solution for classifying …

Microstructure of the neocortex: comparative aspects

J DeFelipe, L Alonso-Nanclares, JI Arellano - Journal of neurocytology, 2002 - Springer
The appearance of the neocortex, its expansion, and its differentiation in mammals,
represents one of the principal episodes in the evolution of the vertebrate brain. One of the …

[PDF][PDF] Reconstruction and simulation of neocortical microcircuitry

…, JV Díaz, R Walker, Y Wang, SM Zaninetta, J DeFelipe… - Cell, 2015 - cell.com
We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of
juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to …

[HTML][HTML] Ultrastructure of dendritic spines: correlation between synaptic and spine morphologies

JI Arellano, R Benavides-Piccione, J DeFelipe… - Frontiers in …, 2007 - frontiersin.org
Dendritic spines are critical elements of cortical circuits, since they establish most excitatory
synapses. Recent studies have reported correlations between morphological and functional …

From the connectome to the synaptome: an epic love story

J DeFelipe - science, 2010 - science.org
DeFelipe (p. 1198) reviews the intellectual history of the field, from the 19th-century studies
of the seminal anatomist Ramon y Cajal to the very recent approaches and myriad new …

Types of neurons, synaptic connections and chemical characteristics of cells immunoreactive for calbindin-D28K, parvalbumin and calretinin in the neocortex

J DeFelipe - Journal of chemical neuroanatomy, 1997 - Elsevier
This article provides a general account of types of neurons, synaptic connections and chemical
characteristics (colocalization studies) of cells immunoreactive for the three main calcium-…

The main goal of this article is to review certain aspects of the circuitry of the human cerebral
cortex that may be particularly relevant for the development, maintenance or spread of …

[HTML][HTML] The evolution of the brain, the human nature of cortical circuits, and intellectual creativity

J DeFelipe - Frontiers in neuroanatomy, 2011 - frontiersin.org
… To conclude, the human cerebral cortex is unique in many aspects and it is likely that as
more detailed studies are carried out on human cortical circuits (DeFelipe, 2010b), we will …
