Morphology of a layer 5 nontufted SC-projecting neuron from three different views. This cell (L508, see also Fig. 3B) has sparser dendritic trees than most layer 5 tall-tufted neurons, and does not extend its dendrites as uniformly in all directions as the layer 5 tall-tufted cell described in Figure 4. Even though total dendritic length is distributed symmetrically (top view, A′,A″), there is one long basal dendritic branch (can be seen in the reconstruction, A′) that extends to about 400 μm farther from the cell body than any other dendritic branches. Same conventions as in Figure 5.
