Targets of cortical projections of thalamic core axons. Direct thalamic projections target layer 4 stellate neurons with signals from sensory receptors. Indirect thalamic projections to the same stellate neurons are routed through the apical dendrites of layer 6 pyramids before they contact the stellate neurons (Sherman and Guillery, 2011). Minicolumn from primary sensory area of vision (Peters and Sethares, 1991).
