a The stain reveals the larger apical dendrites and associated pyramidal cell bodies. b In layer 6 cell body orientations and dendrites are smaller and incoherently organized. c Layer 5 pyramidal cell bodies are larger, orientated vertically and project large vertical dendrites which bundle as they proceed into layer 4. d Cell bodies in layers 3 and 2 are smaller and apical dendrites less visble. MAP-2 staining carried out in one animal, these structures were representative of the n sections we stained. We examined 6 such sections which showed similar results.
