The PMA modeling. (A). Relative distance of CA1 PCs (colored circles) from either CA3 (blue dots) or Subiculum mesh (orange dots). Circles are colored according to a distance gradient (see color bar): from blue (PCs are closer to CA3) to yellow (PCS are closer to subiculum). (B). The plane formed from the two minimum distance vectors (see A) constitutes the transversal plane adopted to orient the major semiaxes of the axonal branch extent.
