A Schematic representation of the site of the block dissection from the depth of the Sulcus Principalis (SP). On the right: The section of the cortex in the SP showing the vertical (radial) probes across layers I–VI, which were examined by electron microscopy. B The total number of synaptic contacts in each vertical probe as represented by the green dots. The semi-log plot in abscissa represents the number of days after conception. Adapted from Bourgeois et al. [49].
