Polyploidy and the Cellular and Areal Diversity of Rat Cortical Layer 5 Pyramidal Neurons

In many species, polyploidy, in which an increase in nuclear DNA content is accompanied by an increase in cell size, contributes to cellular diversity. In the rat visual cortex, most neurons are small and homogeneous in size, while layer 5 cells are heterogeneous, containing some very large neurons....
