Figure 5. — Three-dimensional reconstructions of individual thalamocortical axons in a barrel column. Examples of complete intracortical 3D axon projection patterns of individual VPM neurons. Based on differences in subcellular 3D innervation patterns, we classified 4 different neuron types in a VPM barreloid. (A) VPM-core. (B) VPM-subbarrel core. (C) VPM-core/tail. (D) VPM-head. The naming convention was adopted from previous reports that related the projection pattern to the soma location within the barreloid (see Results).
