## Chapter 12/Figure 7.gif Back | Home | Next | Simulated data: Thalamus This is a close up of the ventrobasal complex in Figure 6, showing the (spiny) dendritic branching pattern of the projection cells, and the initial portions of their axons, decorated with varicosities. The dendritic branching patterns have not been tuned to morphometry data, which, however, is available in the literature. The pale rounded structures are VB somata that have not been given dendrites or axons, but merely indicate the extent of the nucleus.
