Extended Data Fig. 2: Visual cortical neurons, related to Fig. 1.

From: The evolutionary origin of visual and somatosensory representation in the vertebrate pallium

Extended Data Fig. 2

a, Photomicrograph of lateral pallium/cortex showing the location of visual cortical neurons labelled intracellularly with Neurobiotin (magenta) during recordings. b, Confocal image of a spiny (arrowheads) dendrite of a visual pallial cell. c, Photomicrograph showing the location of anterogradely labelled thalamic afferents in the medial pallium. The visual cortical neurons send some of their dendrites into the medial pallium (see Fig. 2) where they receive thalamic input. d, Transverse schematic sections of the pallium showing the distribution and location of the visual cortical neurons. dmtn, dorsomedial telencephalic nucleus; LPal, lateral pallium; MPal, medial pallium; nII, optic nerve; Str, striatum.
