Neurons with callosal projections in visual areas of newborn kittens: an analysis of their dendritic phenotype with respect to the fate of the callosal axon and of its target.

Abstract excerpt

Combined retrograde transport of Rhodamine-labeled latex beads and intracellular injection of Lucifer Yellow in aldehyde-fixed slices of areas 17 and 18 in kittens indicate that neurons with similar dendritic morphology send axons into the corpus callosum from the 17/18 border and from parts of area 17 destined to become acallosal. At both sites callosally projecting neurons (callosal neurons) include pyramids,...
