Morphological dendrogram and examples for branchlets’ receptive fields in a VS3 cell. (A) VS3 branching pattern. This cell consists of more than 200 terminals (dendritic tips) that span the distance of up to 600 μm from the axonal measurement point (see Fig. 1). (B) Reproduced from Hopp and colleagues14. Morphological reconstruction of VS3 is shown at the bottom, with some pivotal branchlets numbered and colored in red, corresponding to the numbered branchlets depicted at top. Insets are examples of dendritic receptive fields measured from two dendritic branchlets (#4 and #10). Arrows denote local preferred direction at the dendritic branchlet. Note that, out of the 50 vectors (blue arrows), only one large vector is apparent at the left receptive field and two large vectors – in the right receptive field (see Methods).
