I restored the article as it was written by Javeal, because I think he made a great contribution to this article. It is much better than it was before. Actually, the article as edited by Alansohn (to which Dicklyon reverted) only had one single reference for one single sentence, so it was not a referenced article to start with. I put an "unreferenced" tag on top of the article, and I hope that Javeal will put his sources shortly. Lova Falk ( talk) 10:56, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
This is constructive criticism for the article's improvement.
You have 2 possible audiences: higly trained physicians or laymen. If the aim of this article is physicians, then it should be located somewhere else (not be in wikipedia). If it is aimed to common people, you should change at least the opening paragraph and the description of the first image because not everyone knows what makes a neuron "neocortical", or what's Golgi's technique, an "apical" dentrite, a soma, a "basal" dentrite, etc. 200.82.41.67 ( talk) 23:31, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

English Translation:
"The fissure of Rolando divides the cerebral surface into two parts, the anterior of which is distinguished by the abundance of large pyramidal ganglionic cells, the posterior by the predominance of the nuclear layers."
Here is an even earlier description:
"The third layer is of a grey colour, from two to four times as thick as the one above it. It is densely crowded with cells of small size, but of different shapes, in company with-nuclei like those of the preceding layer. The cells are more or less pyriform, pyramidal, triangular, round and oval, or fusiform. The pyriform and pyramidal cells-especially in the outer portions of the layer-lie for the most part with their tapering ends toward the surface; and the oval and fusiform cells have generally their longer axes and their processes in a similar direction"

Is there a reason the title of this article is Pyramidal Cell instead of Pyramidal Neuron? Serotonick ( talk) 07:46, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
