Most cortical circuitry interconnects neurons across cortical columns, rather than within
An international research team has reconstructed anatomically realistic 3D models of cortical columns of the rat brain, providing unprecedented insight into how neurons in the elementary functional units of the sensory cortex called cortical columns are interconnected. The models suggest that cortical circuitry interconnects most neurons across cortical columns, rather than within and that these … more…
