Similarities in neocortical circuit organization across areas and species suggest a common
strategy to process diverse types of information, including sensation from diverse modalities …

An understanding of the diversity of cortical GABAergic interneurons is critical to understand
the function of the cerebral cortex. Recent data suggest that neurons expressing three …

Comprehensive knowledge of the brain's wiring diagram is fundamental for understanding
how the nervous system processes information at both local and global scales. However …

Neocortex, the neuronal structure at the base of the remarkable cognitive skills of mammals,
is a layered sheet of neuronal tissue composed of juxtaposed and interconnected columns …

Neocortical areas are believed to be organized into vertical modules, the cortical columns,
and the horizontal layers 1–6. In the somatosensory barrel cortex these columns are defined …

This review aims to summarize data obtained with different techniques to provide a
functional map of the local circuit connections made by neocortical neurones, a reference for …

This review attempts to summarise some of the major areas of neocortical research as it
pertains to layer 6. After a brief summary of the development of this intriguing layer, the …

We imaged axons in layer (L) 1 of the mouse barrel cortex in vivo. Axons from thalamus and
L2/3/5, or L6 pyramidal cells were identified based on their distinct morphologies. Their …

All neocortical areas receive inputs from and project back to the thalamus. It is often said that
the corticothalamic projections are organized in a way that reciprocates the spatial …

The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating
to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use …
