Excitatory neuronal connectivity in the barrel cortex
Neocortical areas are believed to be organised into vertical modules, the cortical columns, and the horizontal layers 1 to 6. In the somatosensory barrel cortex these columns are defined by the readily discernible barrel structure in layer 4. Information processing in the neocortex occurs along ver...
