Schematic illustration showing area-specific and layer-specific developmental changes of pyramidal cell dendrites. The cells are drawn proportional in size to the mean dendritic field areas of corresponding area/age groups. Layer-V pyramidal cells in V1 retract basal dendritic arbors postnatally, whereas those in area TE remain constant in size, and those in area 12 become larger, increasing the size of their dendritic field areas (A). Layer-III basal dendritic field areas of pyramidal cells in area TE and area 12 increase with age, whereas those of V1 cells decrease (B). The scheme for layer V is based on the current results, and that for layer III is based on Elston et al. (2009, 2010a).
