1. Morphological characteristics of the two projection types of pyramidal cells.
Morphological characteristics of the two projection types of pyramidal cells. A, Simultaneous fluorescent labeling of CCS cells with RLMs (arrowheads) and CPn cells with CTB (arrows). B1, B2, Firing responses of CCS and CPn cells, respectively. Note the initial doublet firing (*) in a CPn cell. C, Dendritic reconstructions of two CCS and two CPn cells, showing the differences in dendritic patterns, especially in their apical tufts. D, Plot of the differences in the apical tuft area and shaft diameter between CCS (open circles) and CPn (filled triangles) cells. E, Differences in the dendritic length of layer I tufts and branch points in layer I between CCS and CPn cells.
