Fig. 6: Inter-areal differences between primary visual cortex (V1) and higher visual areas (HVAs).
From: An unsupervised map of excitatory neuron dendritic morphology in the mouse visual cortex
A Side view of the cortical volume. Each point represents the soma location of one neuron and is colored by the apical skeletal length of the respective neuron (dark = no apical, bright = maximal apical skeleton length). Projection from the side orthogonal to the V1/HVA border after a 14-degree rotation around the y-axis (vertical dashed line); top: pia; bottom: white matter. B Top view of the volume showing the density of atufted (left), small tufted (middle), and tufted (right) L4 cells. Atufted neurons are mostly confined to V1, while tufted neurons are more abundant in HVA. Dashed lines: area borders between primary visual cortex (V1), anterolateral area (AL), and rostrolateral area (RL), estimated from reversal of the retinotopic map measured using functional imaging16.
