Distributions of corticogeniculate cell dendrites.

Notes: (A) Shows the distribution of dendrites per cortical layer. The majority of dendrites were located within layer 6. (B) Shows the percentage of dendritic length in each cortical layer for each corticogeniculate cell class. The distributions of dendrites is similar for M and P corticogeniculate cells and distinct from K corticogeniculate cells. (C) Shows the distribution of dendrites broken down by the LGN layer to which they project. K-projecting cells have a more even distribution of dendrites across layers 4, 5, and 6 with significantly more dendritic arbor in layer 4, while M- and P-projecting cells have the majority of their dendrites in layer 6.

Abbreviations: K, koniocellular; LGN, lateral geniculate nucleus; M, magnocellular; P, parvocellular.
