Untangling the cortico-thalamo-cortical loop: cellular pieces of a knotty circuit puzzle
Functions of the neocortex depend on its bidirectional communication with the thalamus, via
cortico-thalamo-cortical (CTC) loops. Recent work dissecting the synaptic connectivity in …

Excitatory neuronal connectivity in the barrel cortex
D Feldmeyer - Frontiers in neuroanatomy, 2012 - frontiersin.org
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 …
