CA1-pyramidal cell

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001559",
  "term": "CA1-pyramidal cell",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of principal neuron located in the Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) field of the hippocampus in the brain. These cells receive major excitatory input from the CA3-pyramidal cells via the Schaffer collateral pathway and project primarily to the subiculum and entorhinal cortex. Due to their specific connectivity and receptor profile, CA1-pyramidal cells are particularly vulnerable to damage from ischemia and excitotoxicity.",
