Early Developmental Differentiation of Corticocortical and Corticothalamic Pyramidal Cells in Layer
نویسنده
چکیده
from which large descending projections to many thalamic nuclei arise. Moreover, the several subclasses of corticothalamic neurones constitute only some 30–50% of the pyramidal cells in layer 6. Layer 6 corticocortical (CC) cells form another large group of pyramidal cells that send long horizontal axons which form connections across cortical columns and cortical areas, eg. somatosensory and motor. The fourth major class of pyramidal cells projects to the claustrum in addition to sending long horizontal axons through the deep cortical layers. At the end of each section is a summary in italics.

Intracortical axonal projections of lamina VI cells of the primary somatosensory cortex in the rat: a single-cell labeling study.
A sample of 84 neurons in lamina VIa of rat somatosensory cortex (S1) was juxtacellularly labeled with biocytin, and the axons of the neurons were traced. Three classes of cells were identified as corticothalamic, corticocortical, and local circuit neurons. Corticothalamic cells (46%) are small, short pyramids projecting either to the ventral posteromedial nucleus alone or to the posterior grou...
متن کاملDendritic Target Region-Specific Formation of Synapses Between Excitatory Layer 4 Neurons and Layer 6 Pyramidal Cells.
Excitatory connections between neocortical layer 4 (L4) and L6 are part of the corticothalamic feedback microcircuitry. Here we studied the intracortical element of this feedback loop, the L4 spiny neuron-to-L6 pyramidal cell connection. We found that the distribution of synapses onto both putative corticothalamic (CT) and corticocortical (CC) L6 pyramidal cells (PCs) depends on the presynaptic...
متن کاملA quantitative study of thalamocortical and other synapses involving the apical dendrites of corticothalamic projection cells in mouse SmI cortex.
Lesion-induced degeneration was combined with the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to examine the thalamocortical and other synaptical relationships of corticothalamic projection cells in mouse SmI cortex. Injections containing 40% HRP were placed in the ventrobasal thalamus and the next day, electrolytic lesions were made of the injection site. About four days later, the an...
متن کاملLocal connections of excitatory neurons to corticothalamic neurons in the rat barrel cortex.
Corticothalamic projection neurons in the cerebral cortex constitute an important component of the thalamocortical reciprocal circuit, an essential input/output organization for cortical information processing. However, the spatial organization of local excitatory connections to corticothalamic neurons is only partially understood. In the present study, we first developed an adenovirus vector e...
متن کاملTwo populations of corticothalamic and interareal corticocortical cells in the subgranular layers of the mouse primary sensory cortices.
The subgranular layers (layers 5 and 6) of primary sensory cortex provide corticofugal output to thalamus and they also project to the appropriate secondary sensory cortices. Here we injected two combinations of different color retrograde fluorescent markers in the thalamic and cortical targets of these layers from the three primary sensory cortices (somatosensory, auditory, and visual) in mice...
