Neural progenitors, neurogenesis and the evolution of the neocortex (2014, background): “In rodents and insectivores, as neocortical size increases, neuron density tends to decrease owing to a corresponding increase in cell size (DeFelipe et al., 2002; Herculano-Houzel et al., 2006; Sarko et al., 2009; Herculano-Houzel, 2012).”
Uniquely hominid features of adult human astrocytes (2009, background): “Nonetheless, a comprehensive analysis of human versus rodent astrocytes has to date been performed, despite numerous studies on the evolutionary changes of neurons (Nimchinsky et al., 1999; DeFelipe et al., 2002; Yanez et al., 2005; Prabhakar et al., 2006).”
The Cellular and Molecular Landscapes of the Developing Human Central Nervous System (2016, positive): “The published estimates for the number of synapses an individual neocortical neuron receives also vary between approximately 7,200 (Pakkenberg et al., 2003; Tang et al., 2001), 29,642 (DeFelipe et al., 2002), and 80,000 (Huttenlocher , 1979) synapses.”
A free energy principle for the brain. (2006, background): “Forward connections arise largely in superficial pyramidal cells, in supra-granular layers and terminate in spiny stellate cells of layer four or the granular layer of a higher cortical area (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; DeFelipe et al., 2002).”
Free-energy and the brain (2007, background): “Forward connections arise largely in superficial pyramidal cells, in supra-granular layers and terminate in spiny stellate cells of layer four or the granular layer of a higher cortical area (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; DeFelipe et al 2002).”
Patterns of neural stem and progenitor cell division may underlie evolutionary cortical expansion (2006, background): “In fact, the ratio of cortical neurons in upper layers compared to lower layers is much greater in humans than it is in rodent”
New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons (2013, background): “These interneurons appear to be mostly GABAergic and constitute ~10–30% of the total neuron population, with the percentage varying substantially between cortical layers, areas and species 17,18 .”
Hierarchical Models in the Brain (2008, background): “Forward connections arise largely in superficial pyramidal cells, in supra-granular layers and terminate on spiny stellate cells of layer four in higher cortical areas [40,46].”
Neuronal circuits of the neocortex. (2004, background): “In one recent count of neocortical areas as different as human anterolateal temporal cortex and the hindlimb area of rat somatosensory cortex, symmetric synapses formed 11.5% and 10.7% of the population, respectively (DeFelipe et al. 2002).”
Monkey to human comparative anatomy of the frontal lobe association tracts. (2012, background): “…phylogeny scale is also accompanied by changes in other anatomical features, such as increase in the gyrification index (Zilles et al., 1988, 1989), cortical volume (Hofman, 1985, 1988) and density of synapses (Rockel et al., 1980; Chklovskii et al., 2002; DeFelipe et al., 2002; Emes et al., 2008).”
Modelling event-related responses in the brain (2005, background): “The neocortex is commonly described as a 6-layered structure (DeFelipe et al., 2002).”
Reconstruction and Simulation of Neocortical Microcircuitry. (2015, methodology): “The E-I fractions and m-type composition determined in this way are broadly consistent with previous reports (DeFelipe et al., 2002; Lefort et al., 2009).”
