Long, interlaminar astroglial cell processes in the cortex of adult monkeys
Abstract
At variance with current descriptions stressing the stellate geometry of cortical astrocytes in the brain of adult mammals, GFAP‐immunoreactive astrocytes from prefrontal and rostral cingulate cortices in two adult New World monkey species, Cebus apella and Saimiri sciureus, were found to have long cellular processes traversing several cortical lamina. These unreported features of cortical astroglial cells in adult nonhuman primates pose new issues for the understanding of iso‐ and allocortical organization and processing in higher mammals. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Evidence supports a glial columnar organization, challenging the traditional perception of astrocytes as part of a horizontal cytoarchitecture forming a panglial syncytium.
“this new view of an active milieu in which the glia is as much fundamental as neurons is supported by evidence of a glial columnar organization, challenging the traditional perception of astrocytes as part of a horizontal cytoarchitecture forming a panglial syncytium”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
