Figure 4.
VPM/POm layer 6 corticothalamic neurons (L6 CThNs) receive more input from contralateral cortex than VPM-only L6 CThNs. (a,b) Three example coronal sections of the cortex contralateral to the starter cell population for an experiment with a starter cell population enriched for VPM-only L6 CThNs (a) or VPM/POm L6 CThNs (b). (c,d) Higher magnification images of S1 contralateral to the starter cell population for an experiment with a starter cell population enriched for VPM-only L6 CThNs (c) or VPM/POm L6 CThNs (d). (e) Summary data showing the distribution of tdTomato-positive cells for the four experiments in which the starter cell population was most enriched for VPM/POm L6 CThNs (n = 12 sections from 4 mice). Scale bars: (a,b) = 1 mm, (c,d) = 200 μm.
